What Viva Goals does
Viva Goals allows organisations to establish objectives at the organisational, team, and individual levels. These objectives are broken down into measurable key results, facilitating progress tracking and accountability. Regular check-ins and feedback mechanisms are built-in, supporting continuous improvement. Data from key results can be visualised and analysed through integration with Power BI, providing insights into overall performance and identifying areas needing adjustment.
Viva Goals in Australian tenants today
For AU mid-market organisations, Viva Goals presents a Teams-native alternative to dedicated OKR platforms like Lattice, Workboard, and Ally.io. While these alternatives offer mature features, Viva Goals’ integration within the Microsoft ecosystem can simplify workflows and reduce complexity. Licence cost becomes a significant factor for smaller teams; evaluating the value proposition against the cost of a dedicated platform is crucial, particularly considering the broader Microsoft 365 licence commitments already in place. Alignment with the Australian Voluntary AI Safety Standard is relevant when considering data analytics and reporting features.
