Useing Initiatives In A Meeting

2 min read

Initiatives in Meetings #

Although initiatives can be created and managed directly inside the Propel Initiatives module, they are most commonly used within meetings to help drive:

  • accountability
  • execution
  • communication
  • and performance.

Initiatives as Part of the Meeting Agenda #

Inside a Meeting Series, initiatives appear directly within the meeting agenda.

This allows teams to:

  • review progress
  • discuss priorities
  • track action items
  • and maintain accountability during recurring meetings.

Initiatives pinned to the meeting series appear at the top of the Initiatives section.

These are typically:

  • shared priorities
  • active projects
  • or strategic initiatives being worked on between the attendees of that meeting series.

Roadmap Items Inside Meetings #

Under each initiative are roadmap items.

Roadmap items represent:

  • the specific actions
  • deliverables
  • or milestones

…required to complete the larger initiative.

Displaying roadmap items directly inside meetings allows teams to:

  • monitor progress in real time
  • identify blockers
  • review ownership
  • and drive execution consistently between meetings.

This creates a direct connection between:

  • strategic planning
  • operational execution
  • and recurring accountability conversations.

Initiative Filters Inside Meetings #

The Initiatives section inside meetings also includes filters that help users quickly focus on the work most relevant to the discussion.

Users can filter by:

  • initiative name
  • assigned individual
  • roadmap item status
  • or date range.

This helps meeting participants:

  • narrow focus
  • reduce distractions
  • prioritize work
  • and review the most important actions first.

Common Roadmap Item Statuses #

Teams often use statuses such as:

  • Not Started
  • In Progress
  • Blocked / Needs Help
  • Complete
  • Overdue

These statuses help leadership teams quickly identify:

  • stalled work
  • accountability gaps
  • or areas requiring support.

Why This Matters #

Using initiatives inside meetings keeps:

  • projects
  • conversations
  • tasks
  • and accountability

…all connected in one place.

Rather than discussing priorities separately from execution, Propel allows organizations to:

  • align meetings directly to strategic work
  • monitor progress continuously
  • and keep teams focused on near-term priorities and outcomes.

The result is:

and stronger execution across the organization.

better visibility

improved accountability

clearer ownership
