Initiatives

Introduction

This provides an in-depth view of each strategic initiative within your organization's business architecture. Initiatives in Orthogramic represent high-level efforts aimed at achieving specific business outcomes, often involving multiple programs and projects to ensure alignment with overall strategic goals. This page is designed to help you track, monitor, and manage these initiatives, allowing for real-time updates and detailed insights into progress, risks, and dependencies.

For a broader understanding of how initiatives fit within the organization, you can refer to the Program Detail and Project details sections. They provide further granularity on how programs and projects are managed under the umbrella of larger initiatives.

• Explore Program Detail for an overview of how programs are coordinated and tracked to support strategic initiatives.

• For a detailed breakdown of individual projects contributing to these programs, See Project details.

Initiative Hierarchy: Initiative > Program > Project

In Orthogramic, the hierarchy of work efforts is structured into three main levels: Initiative, Program, and Project. This structure ensures that all strategic goals and tasks are aligned and tracked from a high-level initiative down to the individual project level, providing a comprehensive view of organizational progress.

• Initiative: Represents the overarching goal or strategic effort. An initiative typically spans across several programs and encompasses multiple business objectives. It is the highest level in the hierarchy and serves as a container for related programs.

• Program: Programs sit beneath initiatives and are collections of related projects that contribute to the achievement of an initiative’s objectives. Programs ensure that the work being done at the project level remains aligned with the broader goals of the initiative. For more information, see Program Detail.

• Project: At the base of the hierarchy are projects. Projects are specific tasks or efforts that, when completed, contribute to the success of the program and, by extension, the initiative. Projects often have defined timelines, deliverables, and outcomes. You can explore the specifics of projects. See Project details.

This hierarchical structure ensures that each element of your organization's strategy is broken down into manageable parts while maintaining clear lines of alignment and accountability.
