“After about 6 months of use, we had really positive feedback from team members that they liked the simplicity of Oboard and the ability to link work items directly to their OKRs.“
“Our infrastructure is Atlassian-oriented, and when we decided to build our OKR system it was crucial for us to have a maximally integrated tool with Jira. Also, we prefer lightweight tools over the monstrous ‘all-in-one’ add-ons. Looks like all our requirements were met with the help of OKR Board for Jira by Oboard!“
“The OKR Board for Jira tool covers all our use cases — notably setting of Company OKRs; creating a hierarchy of associated Group (team) contributions; the ability to set scoring using various methods; transparency of progress; and a high-level dashboard to monitor progress […] As well as covering all our primary features, the tool is well designed and very intuitive.“
“Before Oboard, we spent hundreds of hours manually collecting updates and building progress reports. Moreover, data quickly became outdated, and everyone felt confused. Now, we can see the whole picture, from strategic company goals to daily tasks in Jira in one place, with the progress updated automatically. It took enormous pressure from the Engineering team and helped them focus on impactful work.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What replaced Microsoft Viva Goals?
Microsoft retired Viva Goals on December 31, 2025, and organizations that used it have moved to third-party OKR tools that work with Microsoft products. Oboard is one option for teams that want OKRs connected to Microsoft Teams and Azure DevOps.
-
Can I track OKRs in Azure DevOps?
Yes. Install Oboard from the Azure DevOps Marketplace, link key results to Azure Boards work items, and progress updates automatically as work moves.
-
Does Oboard work in Microsoft Teams?
Yes. Oboard sends check-in reminders to each group on its own schedule, posts OKR updates to team channels, and can be opened in a Microsoft Teams tab, so people can view and update their OKRs without leaving Teams.
-
What should I look for in an OKR tool for Microsoft?
If you’re looking for a Microsoft OKR tool, especially after moving on from Microsoft Viva Goals, compare these four things:
- Where progress data comes from. Can key results update from real work, or does someone type progress in by hand? Oboard updates key results from Azure DevOps work items.
- How it works with Microsoft Teams. Some tools run entirely inside Teams; others send reminders and updates there. Know which one you’re buying. Oboard sends scheduled check-in reminders, posts channel updates, and opens in a Microsoft Teams tab.
- Reporting for leadership. Can leaders see live progress without a status meeting? Oboard offers live dashboards and Power BI reporting.
- Security and IT control. Look for Microsoft sign-in, scoped permissions, and clear compliance documentation. See our Trust Center.
-
Which OKR software is best for Microsoft 365?
It depends on what you need your goals connected to. If OKRs mainly feed performance reviews, an HR suite with OKR features may fit. If you want goals connected to delivery work in Azure DevOps, with check-ins in Microsoft Teams and reporting in Power BI, Oboard is built for that.
-
Can I report on OKRs in Power BI?
Yes. Oboard integrates with Power BI, so OKR progress can appear in the reports your leadership uses.
-
What do I need to install Oboard for Azure DevOps?
You need permission to install extensions in your Azure DevOps organization and to register an application in Microsoft Entra ID. If different admins manage the two, plan the setup together. Our step-by-step install guide and customer success team will walk you through it.
