M365 Changelog: (Updated) New Admin Capabilities in Viva Goals

MC467610 – Updated April 20, 2023: Microsoft has updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Integrations in Viva Goals help save time and energy by automatically updating your key results and projects through connections to other applications from Microsoft and third parties. These integrations allow data to flow from the connected applications into Viva Goals so that results and projects are up to date. As Viva Goals is continuing to grow support for more integrations, Microsoft will be adding new capabilities for global admins to manage Viva Goals integrations for all organizations in their tenant.

When this will happen:

Rollout is expected to begin in late December and is expected to be completed by late April (previously mid-April).

How this will affect your organization:

Organization owners and administrators in Viva Goals can enable integrations for their Goals organizations. As a global admin, you can control who can enable integrations by enabling/disabling user permissions to create and manage organizations in Viva Goals through organization creation permissions.

Microsoft will also be launching new integrations for PowerBI, and MS Planner, MS SQL, Dynamics, Jira, Zapier, and Workplace. MS Planner will be available for connection by default.  

What you need to do to prepare:

There is no action required at this time to prepare for this update.
