There are many articles from Microsoft describing why Microsoft Viva was created and just as many articles describing the technology supporting it (yes, this is one of those).

The modern world is changing very rapidly, and this is especially reflected in the workplace. There’s always something new to learn or ways to update your knowledge; new practices, new tools, updated procedures, and changes in the ways we work.

By making Microsoft Teams a personalized experience, the core function of Microsoft Viva is simple: Keep users engaged in a place where they increasingly spend more of their workdays with content and services tailored just for them.

In recent months, Teams has seen a surge (including more than 100 million new users during the pandemic). Viva, which is designed to be deployed as a set of Teams apps, could support a range of additional tasks without requiring employees to click away from the signature purple frame.
