Alternatives to Viva Goals?
Viva Goals being retired wasn't good news. It put many of us in the community in a pretty tough spot. There is less than a year to find a new OKR software and migrate. We really liked Viva Goals because our team could use it inside Microsoft Teams. Some of the alternatives we are considering switching to are: Teamflect WorkBoard Perdoo All three of these have great Microsoft Teams integration and solid OKR features. We are also considering other alternatives such as Profit Co and Lattice. Any opinions on or experience with these tools?Viva Goals Retirement
Hi, Microsoft just announce at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/goals/goals-retirement that Viva Goals ending in December 2025. How do you feel about this announcement? It was one of the top business use cases with significant business value in Viva Suite after Viva Topics deprecation.
Possibility to adjust the automatic weekly summary?
We have just started to use Viva Goals in our organization and I am one of the admins. We would like to adjust the automated weekly summary that is being sent out via mail. Is that possible? And if yes, where do I find this setting? The only setting I can see is under the "notifications" tab ("summary update rhythm")? Thanks in advance 😄, Fabian
Creating A Performance Review with Power Automate leveraging Viva Goals
We are moving away from a HRMS that does performance management and want to use Viva Goals for all of our individual/team/organizational goals. Our organization still has a desire to do paid for performance structure requiring us to find a Performance Review process that we can use with Viva Goals data. Has anyone used Power Automate to create a review process leveraging the Viva Goals data?
Unable to invite external users to Microsoft Viva Goals
I need to share the dashboard with external users and have tried adding guest users to the Viva Goals OKRs, but they are unable to access the organization. Has anyone else encountered this issue, or can someone confirm if this feature is unavailable in Viva Goals?
Sharing with external users
It doesn't seem like Viva goals allows us to share data with external users. There doesn't even the ability to print off a dashboard (it is a mess when you print it from the browser. It just seems like a common thing you might have to share at least the dashboard with external users. Nonprofit board review for example. Wondering if it is just me missing something.Bug in workflow? Deleting approved OKR is allowed.
Client started using workflow with the following symptom: Setting: approval workflow is enabled and "prevent changes after OKRs are approved" is checked Situation: OKRs are "Approved" by a manager Problem: Employee is still allowed to delete aproved OKR item Do you have a practical experience with workflow? Based on the definition described at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/goals/approval-workflows our environment allows people deleting approved OKRs. Can you share best practice?

Now that OKRs have been around for a few years, and many of our clients have tried them in some shape or form (usually after reading a certain book), myself and my teams are being asked questions like "what more can we do with OKRs?" and "how can we gain more value from them?" That got me thinking that perhaps there's an opportunity for a new discussion group. I'd kick it off by asking what experience people have in measuring OKR maturity. This is something we have played with, and I've see the Viva Gols PDF on maturity, but I'd be curious to hear more about others experiences in their attempts to do this. Thanks!
