Dashboard Explained

Forward revenue forecast by slice and by month, available as weighted or unweighted, and split by category (Gross / Internal / External / Expense).

How to use it

Use the Weighted view for realistic planning — it discounts proposal revenue by win probability. Use the Unweighted view to see the upper bound of what's possible if all proposals convert. Switch between Grs, Int, Ext, and Exp to separate true forecast revenue from the internal/external/expense budget breakdown before drawing conclusions. Drill from Slice into individual Project rows in the table to see which specific projects make up the forecast. If the forecast dips below target in months 3–6, that's the trigger to push BD activity now, not when the dip arrives. Pair this with Planning module's Capacity Planning for the full demand-vs-capacity picture.

Understanding your data

Key Fields

How it's Calculated

Revenue Forecast by Slice

Forecast revenue amount, broken out by the selected Slice By dimension. Reflects the selected Grs/Int/Ext/Exp category and Unweighted/Weighted state

Revenue Forecast by Slice per Month

Same measure, split by forecast month and by slice

Slice × Month table

Same monthly figures in table form by slice, drillable by Slice → Project, with Total row/column

Toggles

  • Grs / Int / Ext / Exp: Grs shows Gross Revenue forecast; Int / Ext / Exp show the Internal / External / Expense budget-based forecast breakdowns respectively. These are separate figures — Grs is not the sum of Int + Ext + Exp

  • Unweighted / Weighted: toggles whether the forecast amount shown is the raw figure or adjusted by probability
