A check-out question is asked at the end of a meeting and is an opportunity to clarify action items and collect implicit or explicit feedback on how the meeting went.

Check-out questions can help reinforce learning or decisions and can give you valuable data as a leader about how content landed or how well folks understood the content.

Before asking, it can be helpful to ground everyone by recapping the meeting objective, what you did together, and what's next.
