Initiative Detail Wireframe

The Initiative Detail screen shows the hierarchical breakdown of an initiative into phases, plans, and tasks. It provides visibility into progress, dependencies, and agent assignments.

Status Colors

Status Color Meaning
COMPLETE / DONE Green Work finished
IN PROGRESS / ACTIVE Blue Currently being worked
PENDING Gray Not yet started
BLOCKED Orange Has unresolved dependencies

Responsive Considerations

  • On narrow screens, collapse the KEY DECISIONS panel
  • Phase tree maintains full width for readability
  • Task rows truncate long titles with ellipsis
  • Agent names link to agent detail in all views
