Initiatives are individual or related tasks that must be completed within a certain period of time, such as project milestones. You can associate initiatives with measures, strategy elements, and accountability elements. As initiatives progress, update their status (such as partially complete) to reflect the performance and position of the factors involved. You can create a composite initiative view that identifies all the objects and elements involved in an initiative. This enables you to identify potential issues and obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the initiative because you can examine all the factors involved.
Initiatives are contextual and associated with a reporting period, such as a sales event, during which annotations can be used. You can group initiatives logically using categories. Administrators can specify the tasks users can perform with initiatives, such as creating and deleting.
