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.
