Workflow
The ARC teams does the investigation work on the initiatives proposed to the CPE team.
Here belows is a schemas explaining its workflow.

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.
