Any way to align organization key result to team objective ?
Hello, I found very sad that you do not have a possibility to automate the alignment of key result and child objective. Example : I set up an organization objective with key result assigned to team 1 Team 1 created an objective to respond to organization key result. Since you cannot align child objective to organization key result, we have to do it manually. Is there a better way to do it ?
Should Title become deselected (in Customize Columns) how do you reselect it?
In View Options / Customize Columns it is somehow possible to deselect Title, and then there is no way to reselect it because it's ghosted (can't be toggled.) Is there anyway to remedy that, e.g. is there a way to revert user settings?How to select the "type" of an OKR?
In the documentation for Viva Goals it says that you can choose the "Type" of an OKR, i.e. Organizational, Team or Individual. There is even a screenshot showing this option in the UI here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/training/modules/viva-goals-create-track-close-okrs/how-to-enter-okrs However, when I enter an OKR, I do not get this option: I am a global admin and have just set Viva Goals up. I have enabled the "default organisation" and do not have any teams. Any ideas? Thanks, Frans[Updated] Objectives alignment and exporting OKRs as admin
Dear All, Good day, faced the following issues, will be grateful for your support and opinion: - I'm facing an issue while trying to align or edit the alignment for an objective or key results, some of the Objectives are not listed in the search dialog so I couldn't find them to align to, the permissions was set as "Specific People can view and align" and I'm the creator and the owner and even set explicit permission to align. The only way to get this done is to change the objective permissions to "Anyone can view and align". - Is it possible for a system admin to export all the OKRs although the permissions on some of them are restricted to specific people (Admin not among them) ? - For the exported OKRs, the owner and Creator are in display name not in Email, we are intending to using the exported data to integrate with other solutions, can we export people info in email format like the import template ? - in the exported file, if there are more than 1 check-in, those extra checking go to new untitles columns to the right instead of being concatenated to check-in column. Regards, MohameInitiatives have to keep same metric format as Key Results
Hi everyone, is it bug or feature that Key Results aligned to Objective can have mixed format of metric while Initiatives underneath can't? Probably hard to understand, so let's explain it like this: Objectives' Outcome is always set as percentage of completion Key results' Metric may be set as numeric, percentage, even currency and still may contribute to Objective above Initiative has to keep same metric format as Key results otherwise contribution is not available to set Example: KR set as reach 2 (number), Initiatives set with milestones as percentage completed, "Manage contributions" dialog doesn't allow to choose some of those Initiatives as they have no metric or wrong metric format. Is that by reason and could I understand why? It is possible to combine KRs contributing to Os but why not Is to KR?Understanding OKR permissions and privacy: not obvious parent-child logic!
Hi, Wanted to share our experience and evolving understanding of OKR permissions and privacy to see if it matches with what others see and need. Step 1 - Viva Goals provides a feature to make Objectives or Key Results "private" by setting the permissions to "Only selected people can view and align". Given we have some Key Results that expose sensitive financial results, for those KR we set the permissions to just a limited set of people. This all feels good as a little "lock" appears beside the KR. Step 2 - Some of those private KRs are grouped under a parent Objective that we also make "Private" as everything under the Objective is private. However, some of the private KRs are grouped under Objectives that also have KRs that are public, so those parent objectives are kept "public". Outcome: we assumed that all the KRs that we made private are indeed private. But to our surprise, this does not seem to be the case. When the private KR is child to a public Objective, then people who are NOT in the permission list can this see the KR and its result. Exactly what we wanted to avoid! In the case of private KRs that are child to a private Objective, the general public can see the private Objective but they can not open it and see any of its child: which is good! (even though we thought they would not even see the private objective!). So our conclusion is that to make KRs truly private they NEED to be grouped under a Private objective, not a public one. And it needs to be clear that this private Objective is actually visible to all. This is a relatively acceptable workaround once one is aware of it. However the User Interface of Viva Goals is deceptive in the way that it lets the KR creator think that its KR is private, when it actually is not. Have others used the OKR privacy settings and see similar outcomes? Other experiences or recommendations on how to make sure private OKRs are truly private?Private Objectives
Hi, Trying to set up some sensitive objective as came across https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/goals/private-objectives-key-results This is exactly the functionality I am looking for, however, the documentation does not cover where is the feature to be enabled. I have gone to goals admin and organization settings under viva goals but no dice.
