Microsoft will retire Viva Goals on December 31, 2025. If your organization is still using Viva Goals and hasn’t selected a replacement, now is the time to plan your next steps for goal management. Our team is ready to support you in migrating your goals to Perform365, ensuring a seamless transition and uninterrupted workflow.
Why is Viva Goals being retired?
Viva Goals is being discontinued due to limited adoption and a shift in Microsoft’s strategic priorities. While Viva Goals helped teams align and track OKRs, its retirement means you must act soon to avoid losing access to your goals and performance data.
