The workflow can be summarized as follow:

- Initiatives are submitted to CPE's project owner who will review them.
- If the initiatives are deemed in scope for the CPE team, they will be accepted.
- The CPE team will prioritize the initiatives against each other, leading to a
  prioritized backlog of initiatives.
- The ARC team will take the backlog in that order and for each initiative it will:

  - Reach out to the CPE team and its communities (as needed) for input on potential
    solution to implement the initiative
  - Do the investigation/prototyping
  - Report to the CPE team and its communities (as needed) its finding together with a
    recommendation

- The initiative will then be scheduled for the next prioritization meeting with its
  stakeholders.
- When the initiative is scheduled, the CPE team will take it and implement it using the
  information, experiment and prototypes gathered and built by the ARC team.
