Weekly Check-in

A weekly check-in is a periodic update to a Key Result or KPI value — the operating rhythm that turns OKR planning into living execution. Update the number first; add risk notes and confidence second.

Overview

Measure What Matters’ tracking superpower becomes real through cadence. Async updates plus short meetings beat long status theater. Axiean stores check-in history, recalculates progress, and powers AI reports from activity.

Why it matters

Quarterly-only updates are autopsies. Weekly check-ins create early warning and honest leadership views.

Examples

Async-first

Owners update values by Friday; Monday meeting only covers blockers.

Best practices

  • Fixed weekly slot.
  • Number first, narrative second.
  • Leaders check in on company OKRs too.
