Since our GA announcement in August, Viva Goals has been focusing on new integrations to bring OKRs into the flow of work into the apps you use every day.
Watch the on-demand Ignite session, Viva Goals: A Practical Guide to OKRs, to uncover the fundamentals around setting OKRs, understand the OKR maturity framework and the progression, and hear about how Microsoft is using Viva Goals internally. Lessons learned from our 40,000+ deployment experience and tips for a successful Viva Goals implementation are some of the most requested topics. You will also see a Viva Goals demo and learn more about the newest Viva Goals integrations. This session is led by Lucy Hitz, Viva Goals PMM responsible for thought leadership and customer marketing and Liz Pierce, the Viva Goals Customer Experience team lead.
We’re excited to announce new integrations with first-party Microsoft tools you know and love, including an enhanced Microsoft Teams integration with a notifications and check-ins as well as new integrations with Azure DevOps, Azure Data Explorer, Power BI, Microsoft Planner, and Microsoft Project.
