Microsoft Viva Connections is a tool designed to bring important company resources and information directly to employees in a centralized location. Imagine it as a digital bulletin board where you can pin important notices, updates, and resources for easy access. One of the features planned for this tool was the MySites card, which would have allowed users to quickly access the sites they visit or follow most often, much like having shortcuts to your favorite websites on your browser's homepage.
However, this particular feature, the MySites card, is being removed from the development roadmap. This means it won't be available as initially planned. It's similar to when a company decides not to launch a new product after testing and feedback suggest it might not meet the users' needs or expectations. While this might be disappointing for those who were looking forward to this feature, it’s a part of the process to ensure that the tools provided are useful and effective.
In the meantime, users can continue to use other features of Microsoft Viva Connections to stay connected and informed. It's always a good idea to explore existing functionalities to find alternative ways to achieve similar outcomes. For instance, you might manually bookmark your frequently visited sites or organize them in a way that makes them easily accessible through the dashboard.
