Focus Areas Dashboard

A Real-Time Window Into Government Initiatives

The Focus Areas Dashboard is a key part of building a more transparent, accountable, and data-driven government.

It gives everyone — from citizens to policymakers — a unified view of what’s happening across agencies and departments, showing real-time progress on initiatives that matter.

Every initiative in the dashboard follows a standardized format, making it easy to compare, track, and understand how public actions are aligned with public goals.

What You’ll Find on the Dashboard

  • Initiative Details – View each initiative’s key elements — including its vision, starting point, goals, action plan, progress summary, and stakeholders.

  • Initiative Status – See where each initiative stands — from planning to implementation to completion.

  • Stakeholders & Roles – Click on an initiative to view the people and agencies involved, and what roles they play (e.g., Lead Agency, Collaborator, Oversight).

  • Progress Metrics – Track milestones, timelines, and resources — all in one place.

  • Tags and Reference Links – Instantly access source documents, executive orders, or legislative text supporting each initiative.

  • Focus Areas (Mission Areas/Policy Domains) – View which major policy domain the initiative supports (e.g., Economy, Health, Energy).
