That’s a wrap! Thank you for joining our Microsoft Viva Goals AMA today! We appreciate all the great questions and hope you learned something new! I'll be locking this event to new questions, but our experts will still be able to respond to any unanswered questions. Stay tuned for more Microsoft Viva Goals news!
For any other questions about Viva Goals, head to the Viva Community Discussion Space.
- Many thanks for hosting this. If someone can answer https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-viva-events/microsoft-viva-goals-ama/ec-p/3669581#M122 at some point later that will be helpful. I'll check back in the morning.

Question to the community: what integrations are you most excited about for Viva Goals? Please reply to this with the integration name and how you would like to use it with Viva Goals.
- We would like to see Planview Agileplace with ability for Key Results to to select a card and for it's progress to be based on child cards being closed or the card itself being closed.

- Direct integration with MS Planner and MS Project for Web. I work in my organization's Program Management Office and these two integrations are on everyone's "hurry up and launch it" list. 🙂

- Ashwin_JeyakumarHere is a list of our currently supported data integrations: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/goals/integrations-overview
- Integrations - I see that Planview Projectplace is available. Are there any plans to include Planview Agileplace (formerly Planview LeanKit) any time soon?
- Ashwin_Jeyakumar
This is currently not on our roadmap, but you can raise a request in our feedback portal If there is enough community interest we can look into it.
- For UK based tenants where is Viva Goals data stored? Is it in UK or EU based data centres? Is the data stored within our Azure or M365 tenant or separately?
Murugesh_seshadriCurrently all Viva Goals data is stored in US based data centers. We are planning to launch capabilities to support EUDB regulations in Jan 2023 and at that point, EU tenant data will be stored within EU data boundaries.
- Any prevision to integrate any version of MS Proyect with Viva Goals in the same line of the MS Planner integration? even with portfolio manager?
- Ashwin_JeyakumarWe expect to launch an MS Project integration by March 2023.
- Do you mean MS Project, or Project for the Web? We have migrated from the former to the latter as it seems to be where MS is going long-term.

- Murugesh_seshadriHi everyone, I am Murugesh Seshadri. I am a Product Manager on Viva Goals. Happy to be part of this Viva Goals AMA!!
- Ashwin_JeyakumarHi everyone, I am Ashwin Jeyakumar. I'm a Product Manager on Viva Goals. Love to see the excitement around Viva Goals and happy to be part of this AMA!
- I am an author for the Veteran Affairs and have been researching this technology as someone in the VA wants to use it. We need the version number and release date to complete our assessment. Can someone please provide that information?
- When setting a metric against an OKR, for example, for a yearly target of sales, at the moment you can't load a specific period target when doing a check in, the expected target is calculated I would imagine based on duration through the OKR period. Will functionality be developed to allow loading of period targets against the overall metric rather than period targets being automatically calculated?
gupta_amitWe are working on this functionality and should be ready for the release early next year.
- At Ignite it was announced Microsoft Project/Power BI and Planner integrations would be coming in November, any update an exactly when? Looking to roll out ready for 2023 but want to train in next 6 weeks but would prefer to do that with those integrations available.
- We recommend rolling out to your team now without these integrations to start taking advantage of Viva Goals as you kick off planning season and the new year. To align with Microsoft's strong security standards, we are putting the finishing touches on the product and these integrations will be live in January 2023.
- I'm wondering the same thing. I would love to make use of those integrations.
- Are there any plans to provide MS Graph APIs or Powershell module / cmdlets to review/manage configuration or user data? Will there be a M365 DSC (Desired State Configuration) module for Viva goals to facilitate configuration as code?
- Murugesh_seshadriYes, the capability of power-shell module/cmdlets that allow IT admins to configure administrative controls outside the tool, is part of our active roadmap. However, M365 DSC is something that has not been planned so far. However, we will continue to explore the need for that and include it in our future roadmap
- Within the Teams App there is an icon in top right 'Go to website' but this links to https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-viva/goals?rtc=1 rather than https://goals.microsoft.com. Will this be updated so that users of the Teams app can easily link out to the full web portal?
- Ashwin_JeyakumarYes, this will be updated in a future release of the Teams app, by March 2023. We will take you to the full web portal.
