Using Initiative¶
The everyday how-to guides. Dip in wherever you need — there's no required order, and you don't need any of them to get started.
Not sure how the pieces fit together yet? How Initiative is organized draws the map, and it takes four minutes.
-
Communities
Switch between workspaces, invite people, run your group.
-
Initiatives
Create initiatives, add members, set up roles.
-
Projects & tasks
Build boards, add tasks, set priorities and due dates.
-
Files
Text, spreadsheets and whiteboards written together in real time, and everything you've been sent.
-
Tools
All nine of them, and which one to reach for when.
-
Calendar & events
Things that happen at a time, with RSVPs and reminders.
-
Queues
Whose turn it is. Rotas, running orders, chore wheels.
-
Counters
Numbers that move. Tallies, totals, scores, seats left.
-
Dashboards
One screen that answers "how are we doing?"
-
Posts
A noticeboard. Announcements, polls, and who's read them.

Galleries
A wall of pictures. Mockups, screenshots, the four logos that lost.

Linked pages, for the things your group knows rather than the things it is doing.
