An Initiative Circle deals with topics and initiatives that are mostly cross-team and may overlap with the Workstreams, such as documentation standards, specific technologies, handling a pandemic, organizational development, etc.
Initiative Circles are usually made up of volunteer members and can, but don’t have to have a fixed leadership. Anyone at amazee.io can start an Initiative Circle and start finding members, sometimes Leads or the Management create Initiative Circle to handle a specific, important topic.
