Check-ins are how you update your Key Results each week. They take 2 minutes per KR and keep your health scores accurate and your team informed.
What a check-in records
- New value — the updated current value for your Key Result
- Status — how it feels: On Track, At Risk, or Behind
- Note — optional context, blockers, or wins to share with the team
- Attachments — optional screenshots, PDFs, or documents as evidence
How to submit a check-in

Reply-to-email check-ins
Every Friday, OKRs Tool sends a personalised nudge email for your most at-risk OKR. You can reply directly to that email — your reply is added as a comment on the OKR automatically. No login required.
Check in weekly, even if the number hasn't changed. A note saying "no change this week — blocked by X" is more valuable than silence. It keeps health scores accurate and tells your manager what's happening.
