Objective and key result owners can update status directly from a weekly Check-in. This keeps goals visible each week and gives managers context before 1-on-1s.
Before You Begin
- You must own at least one objective or key result in 15Five.
- Your account must have access to the Objectives feature (Perform, Legacy Focus, or Total Platform packages).
Steps
- Navigate to your Check-ins tab and open your current Check-in.
- Locate the Objectives section at the top of the Check-in form.
- Find the objective or key result you want to update.
- Click the status indicator next to the objective or key result.
- Select the appropriate status: On Track, Behind, or At Risk.
- Enter a progress value or update the metric for the relevant key result.
- Add an optional comment to describe progress or blockers.
- Submit your Check-in as normal.
If Something Goes Wrong
| Issue | Check | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Objectives section does not appear in Check-in | Confirm your account has Objectives access | Contact your account admin to verify feature availability |
| No objectives listed in Check-in | Confirm you are assigned as an owner of at least one active objective or key result | Ask your manager or admin to assign ownership in the Objectives tab |
| Status changes are not saving | Check that you submitted the full Check-in, not just the Objectives section | Complete all required Check-in fields, then submit |
| Progress value field is missing | Key result may be set to a non-numeric metric type | Verify the key result configuration in the Objectives tab |
