Win Rate Trended Chart

The Win Rate Trended chart tracks the change in win rate over the analysis period you specify. You can display rates for months, quarters, or years.

The intersection of the chart line with the grid line for each time segment represents the win rate for opportunities that have a win rate analysis date within that month, quarter, or year.

Description

Horizontal axis: calendar months, quarters, or years

The horizontal axis displays the range of calendar months, quarters, or years included in the win rate analysis period. You can use the Cycle button () to cycle through the three analysis period options.

Vertical axis: win rate

The vertical axis displays the win rate range (0 – 100 percent).

Chart line: win rate by month, quarter, or year

Each intersection of the chart line with the grid line for a time segment represents the win rate for opportunities that have a win rate analysis date within that month, quarter, or year.

Chart Data

Data Item

Description

Win rate for a period

Number of won opportunities ÷ (Number of won opportunities + Number of lost opportunities)

Or

Pipeline amount for won opportunities ÷ (Pipeline amount for won opportunities + Pipeline amount for lost opportunities)

The calculation used depends on whether you select Count or Amount in Display Trended Rates Based On.  The rate is displayed as a percentage.

For descriptions of the sources of the chart data, see Data Sources.

Example: Win Rate Calculation

Your firm uses the opportunity awarded date as the win rate analysis date. Of the opportunities with an awarded date in November 2012, the total pipeline amount for the won opportunities and lost opportunities are the following:

When you select Amount in Display Trended Rates Based On, Capture Analytics displays a 40% win rate for November 2012:

2,000,000 ÷ (2,000,000 + 3,000,000) = .4 = 40%

Win Rate Analysis Date and Analysis Period

As part of the Costpoint Analytics configuration process, your system administrator specifies the date field from opportunity records in GovWin Capture Management that Costpoint Analytics uses to build the calendar for the win rate portion of the Bid and Win Rate Analytics. That calendar is used to determine which opportunities to include in the win rate calculations when you use the calendar bar to select an analysis period.

For example, your firm could use the opportunity awarded date. When you use the year options above the Win Rate Trended chart to specify an analysis period for win rates, Costpoint Analytics includes all won and lost opportunities with an awarded date that falls within that year.

The win rate analysis date can be, and often is, different than the bid rate analysis date. If the two date fields are the same, however, the analysis period you select for the win rate analytics is automatically applied to the bid rate analytics as well.

Won Opportunities and Lost Opportunities

As part of the Costpoint Analytics configuration process, your system administrator specifies how Costpoint Analytics is to determine which opportunities are won and lost opportunities for the purpose of calculating your firm's win rates. That determination can be based on stage, on a user-defined field from the Opportunity table in GovWin Capture Management, or on a combination of the two.

For more information, see Bid and Win Rate Settings.

Pipeline Amounts

When your firm implements Capture Analytics, it can select two amount fields from opportunity records in GovWin Capture Management to analyze as pipeline. The options under Pipeline Amount enable you to display win rates calculated using amounts from either of those two fields. If you select Amount in Display Trended Rates Based On, Capture Analytics displays win rates for Win Rate Trended chart based on amounts from the selected field.

Pipeline amounts used to calculate win rates are unweighted amounts.

Maximize the Chart

Click at the top right of the chart to display the chart at its maximum size. Click to restore the chart to its original size and location on the tab.

Focus the Chart

To focus the chart on a particular set of data points, click and drag the mouse pointer over the chart so that the green selection area touches only the data points you want to include. Illustration

 To focus the chart on a more restricted analysis period, do either of the following:

It is much easier to make selections on the chart itself if you first maximize the chart.

If you use any of the above actions to change the chart, Capture Analytics applies the same changes, as appropriate, to other analytic objects.

Change the Horizontal Axis Periods

Use the Cycle button () to select any of the three analysis period options for the horizontal axis: Month, Quarter, and Year:

Display Data Point Information

To see the win rate data for a specific data point, position the mouse pointer over the intersection of the chart line and the grid line for the time segment. When you do, Capture Analytics displays the month, quarter, or year and the win rate. Illustration

It is much easier to position the mouse pointer over a data point if you first maximize the chart.
