Answer
What is a pipeline inspection report?
A pipeline inspection report shows how pipeline changed over a period and which deals caused the movement. It should explain what entered, left, advanced, stalled, changed amount, or slipped so managers can understand pipeline quality instead of only total value.
What should the report answer?
The report should make pipeline movement easy to inspect. It should help a leader see whether pipeline quality improved or weakened and where to look next.
- How much pipeline changed
- Which deals entered or left
- Which deals moved stages
- Which deals changed amount or close date
- Where stage velocity or stale deal risk appeared
How is it different from a pipeline dashboard?
A dashboard often shows the current pipeline. A pipeline inspection report focuses on change over time and the deal-level reasons behind that change.
