What is a check-in?

Check-ins play a major role in an objective life cycle. They give an opportunity to evaluate whether you are on the right track, identify issues, and to see how your progress has impacted the key results. Frequent periodic check-ins are recommended to make goal tracking a part of your company culture and to accomplish objectives.
