Dashboard Explained

Aged WIP buckets moving month over month. Aged WIP Evolution is the early-warning view for WIP management — it shows whether late-aged WIP is being actively collected and invoiced, or quietly getting older without action.

New in Insights Pro: This dashboard did not exist in Analytics Plus.

How to use it

Review Aged WIP Evolution monthly alongside WIP Analysis. If the oldest buckets are growing month over month, WIP isn't being cleared — either through invoicing or write-off decisions. A stable or shrinking oldest bucket means collections and invoicing are working. Drill from Aged WIP Bucket into Slice and then Project to trace a bucket's monthly balance back to the specific projects behind it, and use this view to report on WIP management progress to leadership and to set targets for reducing aged balances over the quarter.
