FAQ
Does this work for digital-transformation vs market-expansion initiatives?
Yes. Transformation emphasizes capability and adoption KRs; expansion emphasizes pipeline and product KRs. Initiative Agent adapts.
Can the agent identify cross-team dependencies?
Yes. Agent reads each workstream's milestones and surfaces shared dependencies and conflicting timelines.
What plan supports cross-functional initiatives?
Pro ($16/mo annual) handles the team. Business ($40/mo) adds cross-team analytics and audit logs.
