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

Supporting Key Results that are Integers, especially when the goal is 1.
We are starting an OKR methodology implementation at our company and have chosen Viva Goals as the OKR Management tool. One challenge we have is that some of our Key Results are Achieved/Not Achieved types and that does not seem to be supported by Viva Goals (it was in some of the other tools we have looked into). As an example, we would have an objective that states we are going to be best in our industry by year-end for data security practices. And one of the Key Results supporting that Objective is that we get at least one recognized certification by a 3rd party as we have none today. So we have a metric: number of certifications, that we want to go from 0 to 1. However, because the KR is a floating number, the people doing check-in can write that the current value is something like 0.7. What they mean is that they feel they have done 70% of the work for getting a certification. But what we would like is for the value to stay at 0 until we get the certification as it depends on external stakeholders (the auditors) and even if we feel we have done 70% of the work (or even 95% of the work), it is very possible that we will never get the certification. While we can tell OKR owners to leave it at 0 until achieved, it would be easier to manage if we could create KR where it is explicitly stated that the metric is an Integer and that floating value are not allowed for check-ins. Anybody else has this need? What were your solutions? Any plan to bring a feature like this in Viva Goals?

Writing Good OKRs
To establish a thriving OKR program with Viva Goals, it's essential to craft impactful OKRs that motivate your team and drive the outcomes you desire. Not sure if you've seen this before, but there is a standard formula for goal-setting with OKRs: I will OBJECTIVE as measured by KEY RESULTS via KEY INITIATIVES AND PROJECTS. Check out this article HERE. Writing good OKRs takes practice, and time. The more you do it the better you will become, that is why we urge focusing on progress over perfection.
