Here's why Peerdom Goals is the future-proof upgrade for Viva Goals
On 31 December 2025 Microsoft will permanently retire Viva Goals, ending all support and leaving customers only five months to export their data and find a replacement. Feature development already stopped in late 2024, so what you use today is the last version you’ll ever get.
If you run OKRs or other goal frameworks inside Viva Goals, now is the moment to choose a successor that will still serve you in 2026. This time, you can choose a goal tracking software that doesn't trap your data in another silo.
What Exactly Is Happening?
On December 5, 2024 there was a feature freeze, after which no new Viva Goals capabilities have been delivered. Then, on December 31, 2025, the product will be shutdown. Access, support, and data hosting will end. You must export your data before this moment.
What You Should Look for in a Post-Viva Tool
- Fast, risk-free migration – CSV/API import, clear data model.
- Framework flexibility – OKR, KPI, SMART, MBO … how you track goals may evolve.
- Organizational context – goals shouldn’t float in a dashboard; they should live where work happens.
- People-centric UX – intuitive for non-tech users, transparent ownership.
- Data sovereignty & compliance – GDPR-ready hosting, ideally EU/Swiss-based.
- Open ecosystem – APIs, webhooks, and integrations instead of lock-in.
Why Peerdom Goals Stands Out
1. Goals live inside your org chart
Peerdom is the “Google Maps of the workplace”: your roles, teams and links to digital tools appear on a real-time map. Goals attach directly to the teams and roles that own them, with progress color-coded on the canvas. No more flipping between dashboards and org charts. You can clearly track goal progress in context and across the entire organization.
2. Framework-agnostic
Track percentages, target amounts, or binary milestones. Run OKRs alongside KPIs or narrative goals at role, team or whole-org levels. That flexibility supports mixed operating models.
3. Transparency first
Because goals are visible to everyone, accountability is shared without adding layers of approval.
4. Privacy-first, Swiss-hosted
All Peerdom production data sits in ISO-27001–certified Swiss data centers.
5. Interoperability by design
Open GraphQL API, export-everything policy, and native integrations (Zapier, Pipedream, Teams, Slack). You avoid any data portability pains that Microsoft customers face today.
Migration in three simple steps
- Export from Viva Goals (Excel or API).
- Import into Peerdom via our CSV wizard or API endpoint.
- Visualize: Most teams migrate in under one afternoon.
