Think of it as the organisation's \"war room\" board: it brings together plans, decisions, and the [[build-cookbook]] (a recipe book of reusable build patterns) in one place, so that leadership and engineering teams can see what's been proposed, what's been approved, and what's in flight.\n\nThe app is owned by [[agt_011]], Carol's Head of Engineering, and lives behind authentication — meaning only authorised team members can access it. If you're looking for the broader product roadmap, that has moved to the [[roadmap]] app; Initiatives focuses specifically on the *doing* side: turning strategic intent into concrete plans and tracking the decisions made along the way.\n\n## Usage Patterns\n\nCarol Initiatives comes into play whenever a new strategic effort needs to be formally captured, evaluated, or progressed. For example, when [[agt_010]] or [[agt_034]] identifies a priority — say, migrating a service to a new cloud region — someone raises an initiative here. The initiative record holds the rationale, success criteria, related decisions, and links to any cookbook entries that describe *how* the work should be built.\n\nDay-to-day, agents like [[agt_013]] and [[agt_012]] reference Initiatives to understand the \"why\" behind their current work, while [[agt_020]] uses it to coordinate execution across teams. It also serves as an audit trail: months later, anyone can revisit an initiative to see what was decided, by whom, and what trade-offs were considered — making it a lightweight decision log as much as a planning tool.","namesake_json":"{}","profile_pic_path":"","source_hash":"33d9449f2828aba631bb28a0adf3b89ee4b5f00823eff1d660af611961132f5c","status":"active","last_generated_at":"2026-06-28 03:28:17","created_at":"2026-06-28 03:28:17","updated_at":"2026-06-28 03:28:17"},"facts":{"id":"initiatives","name":"Carol Initiatives","port":7167,"url":"https://carol.denken-labs.com/dev/initiatives/","description":"Strategic initiatives, plans, decisions, and cookbook (roadmap moved to the Strategy app at /dev/roadmap/)","owner":"agt_011","dir_name":"initiatives","card_group":"","is_public":0,"access_level":"auth","log_name":"initiatives","gen_nginx":1,"user_admins":"[]"}}
