Self-service trial experience available for Viva Goals MC516356 · Published Feb 16, 2023

Previously, only admin-initiated trials of Viva Goals were available, which were limited to one trial per tenant. Customers told us they wanted a way for multiple departments across their organization to try Viva Goals at the same time. To meet this demand, we’re launching self-service trials.

Self-service trials will allow different teams within the tenant organization to start experiencing Viva Goals simultaneously.
