# Check-ins on PeopleCues

A **Check-In** is a regular update on an OKR’s progress, allowing users to track performance, reflect on progress, and share qualitative insights.

Check-Ins help:

* Measure **current progress** against defined metrics.
* Provide a **status update** to indicate whether an OKR is on track.
* Capture **qualitative feedback** to give context on challenges or achievements.
* Keep teams and managers **aligned and informed** throughout the OKR cycle.

**Tip:** Regular check-ins make it easier to course-correct, celebrate wins, and maintain transparency across the organization. PeopleCues recommends making active check-ins every 15 Days.

#### **How to Provide a Check-In**

   * Click **New Check-in** by either on the hovering over the objective or opening the the **details page** by clicking on the objecive.
