Microsoft Viva Goals (discontinued) Reviews & Insights

Microsoft Viva wasn't used in our office when it first came out. Recently, I have been using it more and more as it integrates into a lot of the work that I do with reminders, deadlines, and tasks that I need to do, and it has got the AI now, which I am just starting to learn. So far, I really like it and it seems like everyone like everyone here is doing the same.

Document sharing is a beneficial feature, offering a private section and a network system that integrates seamlessly with everyone's computers. I love the AI feature to help make my messages more direct because I am not a direct person. I try to be...It would be helpful to have the option to record the reasons for feeling good, bad, or somewhere in between during the end-of-day wrap-up, allowing for future reflection on those specific reasons. Usually later on in the coming weeks or even months because it helps.

Ally.io is our tool of choice for running and managing the OKR program across the company. It is currently used by all functions (departments) that have OKRs to create, manage, and track their OKRs.

Ally.io helps us in storing, managing, tracking, and showcasing our OKRs. It helps in creating transparency and focus across the company via OKRs. It is also critical in terms of reducing the effort that goes into creating presentations (for retros, quarter-end town halls, etc.) via its dashboarding feature.

Well suited for

• Companies that have experience of using the OKR methodology and have a clear understanding of what it is
• Companies that are planning to expand/scale the OKR program
• Companies that are looking to reduce the effort involved in running the OKR program

Ill-suited for:

• Companies that are using OKRs for the first time and do not have a clear understanding of the methodology

Ar Roambee we use Ally.io as our OKRs software and tool and also for some aspects related to performance management. Ally provides a strategic execution framework and we do use it on a company-wide basis. Ally.io has helped us in a meaningful as we have worked through the pandemic with some of our offices remaining closed and through remote working to stay aligned to our company goals. Ally also provides a pillar to onboarding new employees and as an additional tool for strengthening internal communication by providing a common business language.

I believe Ally.io to be one of the best OKR software tools available and it can be deployed easily to small, medium, large enterprises. The tool is easily scalable and its implementation can be deployed without necessarily having a pilot test. I can not find scenarios where it would not be appropriate.
