Hi Evan,
For Initiatives/Projects, unfortunately, it can only be measured by one metric in itself. The addition of tasks could potentially be used as recording the multiple metrics so that all combined, it would achieve the overall progress of the initiative.
In a situation where you have multiple metrics under 1 initiative, you might consider a child objective with multiple KRs and then use initiative to put in the tasks/activities that need to be done to achieve the multiple metrics.- WendyPatFong Very helpful, thank you!
Hi Evan_Hindman,
You are able to nest initiatives into a single key result - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/goals/configure-okr-model#enable-initiatives but you're unable to nest multiple metrics under a single initiative. This is as per design based on the OKR framework.
You can use the integration with Planner to achieve a similar outcome to the above however - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/goals/microsoft-planner-integration
