Viva Goals: Analytics Drilldown no longer working
Last week when I clicked on the 'analytics' tab for a team I could toggle the "drilldown" option and see all of the sub-teams adoption and engagement. This week it's no longer working. When I select this option I only see the parent team. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a bug caused by developers or was this done to eliminate this visibility? Thanks!
Viva Goals Power BI Integration Errors
My organization has several key results with Power BI connections that have integration errors. These key results use integration connections and are connected to Power BI reports that are behaving as expected for other key results. Viva Goals gives me an error message that it could not find the file. The issue appears to happen randomly. Has anyone else encountered this issue?
Project For the Web Connector - PWA?
Hi, I'm trying to connect the tasks from my initiatives automatically using the Project For the Web Connector. Does anyone know if I can use the same connector to connect to my PWA (Project Web App) instance? At this time, some of our projects in my organization are managed via PWA. So I wonder if there is an environment permission in PWA to be allowed to I can select in the connector? I can see all my projects from Project Online just fine, just the ones hosted in PWA are missing. If there is another channel where I can ask this question or get support, please let me know.
Closing and scoring OKRs
Hi Viva Goals community, I have a question related to closing and scoring OKRs. When I go to close an Objective (blue bullseye icon) or Key Result (purple speedometer), I am given the option to adjust the score if desired. However, when I go to close an Initiative (green calendar), the Close dialogue box does not have the Score line that allows me to adjust the score - I am forced to take the score that is auto-calculated by Viva Goals. 1) Can people confirm that this is the case for them as well? 2) If this is indeed the case, can anyone from Microsoft or otherwise help me understand why the score adjustment feature is not available on Initiatives? 3) Is there any plan to change this for Initiatives in the future? Thanks everyone! Evan
How do I create a Gantt Chart of all my Key Results under an organisation OKR in Viva Goals?
Im trying to set up all my organisations OKRs and Key Projects and every functionality is great... except when it comes to Visualisation. Im trying to play around with the dashboards and what I want to create is a Gantt Chart for an OKR displaying in a Gantt Chart (By month) the different Key Results and when during the project period they are supposed to happen. The start and due date is written in so it should be able to make it? I just cant figure it out.. please help. Best SebastianViva Goals - Reassigning Objectives & Key Results
Hi All, I’m wondering if someone would be able to help with what seems like a Viva Goals glitch described below please? It seems that when reassigning objectives or key results within Viva Goals, it seems to ‘hang onto’ the data from the older owner when creating filtered views. E.G.1: I reassigned objectives & key results what were initially assigned to OldUser1, to NewUser2. Yet, when I do a filter by owner OldUser1, which should be blank, it shows me NewUser2 newly assigned objectives E.G.2: Similarly, User3 has reassigned some of his objectives to others, yet when filtering for his objectives only, it brings up other objectives that are no longer related to User3. These also appear within his “My OKRs” view which clutters up his filtered view. I’m guessing its something to do with cached data maybe but just guessing. Would anyone know of a solution to this please?
Best practice for permanent KPI tracking in Viva Goals
Hello, We adopted OKR and Viva Goals for annual and quartely objective tracking. However, we would like to integrate our general/permanent KPIs into Viva Goals (KPIs that may or may not curently be tied to an OKR). I saw the feature allowing a Key Result to be pinned to the KPI dashboard, not all my KPIs already exist as a Key Result, or maybe the Key Result is for a specific period (quartely) and the KPI is permanent/annuel. Also I need a view of my KPI for "all company" and the "pin to KPI" doesn't work for multi-teams views. How is everyone managing company-wide, permanant KPI/scorecard ? I tested creating an objective named "Permanent KPIs" within the root "company" team, and KPI under it as Key Results, but this feels/looks a bit weird. I also tested setting the root "company" team as an additionnal owner of Key Results located elsewhere in Viva Goals, so they appear with the "company" view.Any client using Viva Goals as Performance Management?
A client is interested in modernizing their performance management system, leading them to consider Viva Goals. Their requirements, however, extend beyond standard goal alignment and team-level performance tracking. They are seeking a system that offers, Individual performance management (setting, modifying, and reviewing), Integration of career development, training, and compensation decisions based on performance data, Tracking of performance history at both individual and organizational levels etc, Our assessment suggests that Viva Goals alone may not fully meet all these needs. We believe that a solution integrating Viva Goals with a total reward-driven performance management system could be more suitable. We would greatly appreciate any insights or experiences you might have regarding similar implementations. Additionally, we are interested in discussing possible workarounds or integrations that could meet our client’s needs.KR going to 3 decimal places when source does not?
Hi folks, first time posting here! Has anyone noticed with Power BI as a source for a KR that Viva Goals uses 3 decimal places, even if the source (in this case a Power BI report) has 0 decimal places. This is what I see in Viva Goals: Compared to Power BI:Regarding Tableau integration and key result target updates
Hello! Does anyody have a solution share for the following two problems: 1. When connecting to Tableau the units of the metric seem to show billion times larger. Why so? 2. Can the OKR import Excel be used to efficiently update only metric targets that already exist in Goals and have Tableau integrations set up.
