Once an idea is validated and approved, it must move into execution. This feature ensures a structured transition from idea management to project portfolio management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without this connection, ideas would remain isolated from execution, making it difficult to track outcomes, allocate resources, and manage progress. This feature creates continuity from decision to delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What this feature is<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This feature allows users to convert an approved idea into a project directly from the idea detail view. The newly created project is automatically linked to the original idea and transferred into the project portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Relevant data such as properties, configuration, and structured content like canvases are carried over to the project. This ensures that execution starts with all necessary context already in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea and project remain connected, allowing users to navigate between them and maintain traceability across the innovation lifecycle. This supports the end-to-end continuity of the platform from idea to execution. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Access level<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Power User<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Users must have permissions to manage ideas and create projects within the project portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Navigation path<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navigation path: Innovation Studio \u2192 Ideas \u2192 Idea details<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this feature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When an idea reaches a stage where it is approved for execution, it can be converted into a project. This action creates a new project in the project portfolio and links it to the originating idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system ensures that important data is transferred and that both objects remain connected for traceability and governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step by step instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to <strong>Innovation Studio<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open <strong>Ideas<\/strong> from the left navigation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select an idea that is ready to move into execution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the idea to access the <strong>Idea details<\/strong> page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the <strong>Action button, then<\/strong> <strong>Start project<\/strong> in the top right corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The system creates a new project and opens it immediately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review the project details and confirm the selected project funnel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjust or complete any essential fields if needed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"654\" height=\"298\" src=\"http:\/\/www.acceptmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-119.png\" alt=\"Project dashboard with Action dropdown menu open\" class=\"wp-image-96982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.acceptmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-119-18x8.png 18w, https:\/\/www.acceptmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-119-200x91.png 200w, https:\/\/www.acceptmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-119-300x137.png 300w, https:\/\/www.acceptmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-119-360x164.png 360w, https:\/\/www.acceptmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-119-400x182.png 400w, https:\/\/www.acceptmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-119-600x273.png 600w, https:\/\/www.acceptmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-119.png 654w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 654px) 100vw, 654px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Managing a project from the dashboard interface.

This determines where new projects are created by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If no manual changes are made, the system uses this predefined funnel when starting a project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manual funnel selection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After creating the project, users can change the project funnel manually:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the created project<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to the project details<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select a different project funnel if needed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is especially relevant when multiple project portfolios exist across departments or strategic domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rich text properties when converting an idea to a project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rich text property values are part of the structured information that can transfer from an idea to its linked project, provided the corresponding property is available in the project context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> A rich text <strong>Customer problem<\/strong> property containing a formatted problem statement and a research link can remain available after an approved idea is converted into a project. Numeric properties such as expected impact and estimated effort can transfer alongside it for planning and execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Data continuity and governance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system maintains a permanent link between the idea and the project. This ensures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Traceability from idea to execution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alignment with strategic decisions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clear ownership and accountability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical example \u2013 Innovationlands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Innovationlands, a park team submits an idea to reduce waiting times by providing real-time queue insights to visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea moves through the idea funnel where it is enriched, scored, and aligned with the strategic domain &#8220;Guest journey design&#8221;. After evaluation, the idea is approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The innovation lead opens the idea and clicks <strong>Start project<\/strong>. A new project is created in the project portfolio under the default project funnel for guest experience initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All relevant properties such as target audience, expected impact, and department ownership are transferred. The SWOT canvas used during idea enrichment is also available in the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project team can immediately begin execution, defining milestones and tracking progress. The original idea remains linked, allowing stakeholders to trace how the initiative originated and why it was prioritized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This ensures a structured transition from idea validation to execution within the innovation portfolio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why this feature is needed Innovation does not stop at idea evaluation.
