Setting a goal was the easy part. Keeping it honest week to week was the part that quietly rotted. Check-ins fix that.
Check-ins
- Log where a key result stands — a quick update on progress, when you have it, without editing the whole objective.
- A trail over time, so a goal shows its history instead of just a current number someone last touched three weeks ago.
Progress that rolls up
Objective progress now rolls up from its key results automatically. You update the key results — where the actual work shows up — and the objective's progress follows. No more hand-editing a top-level percentage to match, no more the two disagreeing.
Why it matters
A goal is only useful if it reflects reality. When the rollup is automatic, the objective can't drift away from its key results, and a check-in is a two-second habit instead of a spreadsheet chore — which means it actually happens.
