What is an initiative?

ActionPlanner’s focal point is initiatives. An initiative is defined as an agreement between two individuals about a deliverable over time. The person requesting the deliverable is the OWNER and the person who drives, gives feedback and completes the initiative, is the RESPONSIBLE.

Initiatives are characterised by:

1. An activity which takes up 5-10% of your workload over several months
2. Having the ability to give feedback with colors, comments and KPI’s
3. Having a start date and end date
4. Providing the ability to contain milestones and actions

An initiative can be broken down into one or more sub initiatives as needed. The functionality of a sub-initiative is the same as for an initiative.
