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.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?
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
Bulk import of Excel template of OKRs into Viva Goals
In Viva Goals, it states that you can bulk import OKR's using an Excel template that downloads. You cannot make any changes to the template (no renaming or moving columns etc.), just add data. Which I did, but it keeps failing, but it doesn't tell me why it fails or how to fix it. I even added data that was supposed to be "optional". I also ensured that I have the Excel Integrations downloaded. I confirmed how the file format was saved. Could it be that in the Excel template, the Item Type sheet (Objective, Key Result, Project) has different naming properties then what is showing in the trial version that I am using? Under the Admin Dashboard > Custom Terminology, it reads, OKR, Objective, Key Results and Initiative. Could this effect my import? Any help would be much appreciated. Using the OKR template would be very beneficial. Thank you.
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?
Viva Goals not loading in Safari and Firefox Browser
Hi everyone, we started using Viva Goals in our company and multiple people reported that viva goals is not working correctly in Safari and Firefox. Just the header is shown with en empty content. It works fine in other browsers and within Teams. I remember a few month back, when I tests Viva Goals it was still working. Is this a known issue?
Users can't access Viva Goals
Hi- recently a number of our users suddenly can no longer access Viva Goals, either through Teams or web browser. On the browser, both a direct link to Viva Goals or going through the Office Portal gives them similar issues. Here are a few error codes and screenshots from various affected users: Error code: 20241009T132715Z-17bd99658d9cdh6wcrg61u11h40000000m5g00000000bv8q Error code: 20241004T135842Z-15767c5fc55472x4k7dmphmadg0000000c7g00000000hx41 Error code: 20241003T173249Z-17bd99658d9vhcxnmvkgw4dz8c0000000a5g00000000cm6 Error code: 20241008T190645Z-16b659b4499f652swtf15xkd7s00000000ng000000003n7q Confirming they all have licenses applied to their accounts on Admin Center and are in our one and only organization. I also don't see anyone on the user-led trials being affected by this. + we have Teams Admin Center granting access to Viva Goals org-wide. Has anyone else experienced this or know how to solve? I personally can't see a pattern to see what might be causing this...
Organisation dependent on specific user
Hi, following case: I created an OKR Organisation. So I'm the "creater" and one of two "owner"s. Unfortunately I had only a test license. This lead to deactivation of my Viva Goals access. In the meantime the whole OKR Organisation was not reachable, viewable, usable for anyone else. Of course I now got a "normal" Viva Goals license. But we fear that in case of something happening to my account (many possible scenarios) may lead to the whole OKR-Organisation being non functional. How can we prevent this? How can we make the OKR Organisation user-independent? Thanks, Regards, Jonathan
