What is Viva Goals
Viva Goals is an objectives and key results (OKR) application that helps organizations define, align, and track goals and outcomes across teams. It targets business leaders, HR/people teams, and managers who need structured goal planning, check-ins, and progress reporting. The product is designed to work within the Microsoft ecosystem, with integrations that connect goals to collaboration and work artifacts in Microsoft 365 and related services.
Deep Microsoft 365 integration
Viva Goals integrates with Microsoft Teams and other Microsoft 365 services, supporting goal updates and visibility in the tools many organizations already use. This reduces context switching for users who collaborate primarily in Microsoft environments. It also supports connecting goals to work signals and reporting within Microsoft’s broader platform.
Structured OKR planning workflows
The product provides templates and guided workflows for creating objectives, defining key results, and setting ownership and cadences. It supports check-ins and progress updates to keep OKRs current over a quarter or other planning cycle. These features fit organizations that want a consistent OKR operating rhythm across departments.
Enterprise administration and governance
As part of Microsoft’s enterprise software portfolio, Viva Goals aligns with common enterprise requirements such as centralized administration and identity management through Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD). It supports role-based access patterns that help large organizations manage visibility and ownership of goals. This can simplify deployment where Microsoft identity and security controls are already standard.
Best fit for Microsoft stack
Organizations not standardized on Microsoft 365 may find less value from the product’s differentiators. Teams using other collaboration hubs may experience more friction in day-to-day usage and adoption. In mixed-tool environments, integration coverage may not match what users expect from their primary work systems.
OKR scope narrower than work hubs
Viva Goals focuses on OKR definition, alignment, and tracking rather than broad project/work management. Teams that want goals, tasks, documents, and cross-functional execution in one workspace may need additional tools. This can introduce extra configuration to connect OKRs to delivery work at scale.
Product availability changes
Microsoft announced that Viva Goals will be retired, which affects long-term suitability for new deployments and renewals. Organizations may need to plan for migration of OKR data, reporting, and operating processes. This increases vendor-lifecycle risk compared with products that are actively investing in the OKR module as a core offering.
