Current Pipeline by Stages Chart

The Current Pipeline by Stages chart displays a breakdown of total current pipeline by stage. The height of each colored band represents the pipeline amount for opportunities currently at that stage.

You can also display this data in a pie chart or block chart.

Chart Format

The default chart is a funnel chart, but you can use the Fast Change icon (fast_change_button.gif) in the chart title bar to display a pie chart or a block chart.

Chart Item

Description

Funnel chart layers

Each colored layer in the funnel chart represents the contribution of the corresponding stage to the total pipeline. The height of each layer is proportional to that stage's portion of the total pipeline amount.

Pie chart wedges

Each colored segment in the pie chart represents the contribution of the corresponding stage to the total pipeline. The area of each segment is proportional to that stage's portion of the total pipeline amount.

Block chart rectangles

Each colored rectangle in the block chart represents the contribution of the corresponding stage to the total pipeline. The area of each block is proportional to that stage's portion of the total pipeline amount.

If the chart includes some stages with very large pipeline amounts and others with relatively small pipeline amounts, the smaller segments may be too small to display pipeline percentages. If that occurs, either maximize the chart, or select only the specific stages you want to view so Capture Analytics can redisplay the chart with a more appropriate scale.

Chart Data

Data Item

Description

Total pipeline amount

The sum of unweighted or weighted pipeline amounts for all included opportunities.

Stage pipeline amount

The sum of unweighted or weighted pipeline amounts for opportunities currently assigned to that stage.

Stage pipeline percentage

(Stage pipeline amount ÷ Total pipeline amount) × 100

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

Detail and Grouped Stages

If your firm has set up grouped stages for Capture Analytics, use the Detail and Grouped options to view pipeline data either for the original GovWin Capture Management opportunity stages (detail stages) or for the grouped stages. When you select the Grouped option, this chart displays pipeline percentages for the grouped stages.

Stage Sequence

A Capture Analytics configuration setting controls the sequence of stage layers in the funnel. Your system administrator sets that sequence during implementation of Capture Analytics.

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 apply the analytics to either of those two amounts. When you select one of the options, Capture Analytics displays pipeline amounts calculated from amounts in that field in the opportunity records.

The Unweighted and Weighted options under Pipeline Probability Weighting provide the additional option to display either unweighted pipeline amounts or weighted pipeline amounts (pipeline amounts with the probabilities applied).

Capture Analytics calculates the weighted pipeline amount for each opportunity as follows: Unweighted pipeline amount × (Probability ÷ 100).

Maximize the Chart

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

Focus the Chart

To focus the chart on one or a few stages, do any of the following:

To focus the chart on a more restricted analysis period, specify the analysis period using the analysis period bars at the top of the tab. Common_DropDown_Down.gifIllustration

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 all other analytic objects.

Display Data Point Information

To see the pipeline data for a specific stage, position the mouse pointer over that segment. When you do, Capture Analytics displays the stage name, pipeline amount, and percentage of total pipeline in a data box. Common_DropDown_Down.gifIllustration

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