Viva Goals is gone.
The architecture was always the problem.
Most alternatives will give you the same thing in a different wrapper: a goal-tracking layer disconnected from the work below it. That's the same broken design that made Viva Goals fail. Vindaris is built from the opposite premise.

Viva Goals didn't fail because it lacked features. It failed because tracking goals away from the work was always the wrong design.
Every post-mortem on Viva Goals cites low adoption and poor integration with daily work. Those are symptoms. The root cause is architectural: Viva Goals was built as a goal-syntax tracker that sat on top of Microsoft 365, reporting on strategy without any structural connection to the work happening in Planner, Teams, or the tools your people actually used.
The result: goal check-ins became a separate ritual. Teams updated their OKRs as a reporting exercise, disconnected from the work that was — or wasn't — moving them. Leadership saw green dashboards while initiatives quietly stalled. The system reported what people told it. It couldn't tell them what was actually happening.
Goals without traceable work are theater. As long as goal-tracking and work-tracking live in separate systems — connected by integrations, manual updates, or weekly check-ins — leadership will never have a reliable view of whether effort matches outcome. The gap between them is where strategy goes to die.
Most Viva Goals alternatives replicate the same mistake.
Cascade, Quantive, Profit.co, Mooncamp, they are all, at their core, goal-tracking layers. They present goals in dashboards. They ask teams to report progress against them. They integrate with work tools via connectors that move data but not meaning. They are better-designed versions of Viva Goals, not a different architecture.
- Goals live in one system. Work lives in another.
- Teams update goals as a reporting exercise, not a working practice.
- Integrations move data — not traceable connections between effort and outcome.
- Dashboards show what teams told the system. Not what's actually happening.
- Framework-specific — built around OKRs, or KPIs, or one methodology.
- Goals and work live in the same system. Traceably linked, not synced.
- Work in HubSpot, Planner, and Google maps automatically to the goals it should move.
- Live bidirectional sync — every task update reflects in the goal view, in real time.
- Leadership sees what's actually happening — not what teams chose to report.
- Framework-agnostic — OKRs, KPIs, EOS Rocks, OGSM, SMART goals. Bring any syntax.
From Viva Goals to Vindaris in under 90 minutes.
You don't migrate your work. Your team keeps using HubSpot, Planner, and Google exactly as they do today. You only bring your goals, and then let Vindaris connect the layer between them.
Export your OKRs, KPIs, or strategic priorities from Viva Goals as a CSV, or recreate them directly in Vindaris. The framework you've been using works — bring it as-is. Vindaris supports OKRs, KPIs, EOS Rocks, OGSM, and any hybrid structure.
Since your team already uses Planner, connecting it takes minutes. Vindaris pulls in existing tasks and projects via the Microsoft Graph API — bidirectional sync means changes in Planner appear in Vindaris and vice versa. No workflow changes for your team.
Vindaris suggests connections between your synced work and your goals based on labels, owners, and project structure. Confirm the mappings, adjust where needed, and within an hour leadership has a live view of what's moving what — replacing the manual update cycle entirely.
The weekly goal-update meeting your team ran in Viva Goals no longer needs to exist. The system shows progress against plan in real time, surfaces what's at risk before the quarter ends, and gives leadership the view they used to reconstruct in the status meeting. The meeting becomes a decision forum, not a discovery exercise.
