Sections
Description
In case the short description is not enough, the description section provides room for more detailed information about the strategic theme.
Objectives
This section automatically lists all associated objectives.
Subordinate Strategic Themes
In case you need to organize strategic themes in a hierarchy then add additional strategic themes as children to this theme. Subordinate themes will then be automatically listed.
Since themes are typically short lived, there is probably no need to organize themes for one iteration in this way. Subordinate themes may be useful for some use cases where you want to relate themes that are pushed in different iterations. Note that this kind of relation may also be expressed by strategic theme types.
Notes
These are internal notes that are usually not exported and only visible to team members with write access.
But this is not a safe place to store sensible information. It is just a convenience for the reader to not be bothered with notes stored here for the authors for later use. The security level is about suppressing the representation by a CSS style. Therefore consider this as a convenience for the reader, not as a security tool.
References
For a document the references section contains pointers to resources that prove the statements of the document.
Often these proofs are not easily distinguishable from further information. In this case you may want to skip the reference section in favour for the resource list.
Resources
The resources section provides references to further information to the topic of the document.
This may be information on the internet provided by the resource or information in the team's information systems. Anything the reader of the resource might want to know, may be listed here.
