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?
Project For the Web Connector - PWA?
Hi, I'm trying to connect the tasks from my initiatives automatically using the Project For the Web Connector. Does anyone know if I can use the same connector to connect to my PWA (Project Web App) instance? At this time, some of our projects in my organization are managed via PWA. So I wonder if there is an environment permission in PWA to be allowed to I can select in the connector? I can see all my projects from Project Online just fine, just the ones hosted in PWA are missing. If there is another channel where I can ask this question or get support, please let me know.
Regarding Tableau integration and key result target updates
Hello! Does anyody have a solution share for the following two problems: 1. When connecting to Tableau the units of the metric seem to show billion times larger. Why so? 2. Can the OKR import Excel be used to efficiently update only metric targets that already exist in Goals and have Tableau integrations set up.
Viva Goals Creat Teams Bulk Upload fails, but no details
I am trying to upload a file to use the Bulk-Import feature on Viva Goals Team creation. I downloaded the template, added my info (including the required columns, fewer than 200 records), did not reformat or delete anything. I upload the file. The preview shows a correct slice of data, so it shows it can read the file. But three times now after several minutes, there is an error returned and zero teams created. When I download the report to see details, there are no additional details beyond "Failed". No error messages. Because of this, I don't know what to change in order to successfully upload. I've successfully used the OKR uploads in the past, as well as the Team upload. But now I'm not sure how to proceed. I am using a Windows/Dell PC, Firefox browser, Windows 11 OS.
