In SecureDB, you can create long-term goals with Initiatives. Initiatives are designed to be a group of Projects (which consist of their own Tasks) that contribute to the larger goal. This layered structure enables you to manage and track progress at different levels—from the granular Task level to the broader Initiative level. By grouping projects together under a single initiative, you can focus on achieving a strategic Objective while monitoring the performance and timelines of each individual Project.
