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

  • Hi flytzen, thank you for the question.

     

    The type here refers to the OKR level. This maps to the Team that you select while creating your OKRs.

    1. If there is no team assigned, it is considered as an individual OKR.

    2. If the team is mapped to the organization (note the globe icon with the organization name), it is considered an organization OKR.

    3. If the team is mapped to a created team in your organization (note the team icon with the team names), it is considered a team OKR.

      Thank you, that works.
      Not intuitive and the docs need updating, but now that I know, I can do it right 🙂
      Thank you.
