Below is your important reading!
Revenue intelligence is where analytics meets predictability. As organizations scale across regions, products, and enterprise accounts, the sales pipeline grows—but so does the uncertainty: inconsistent stage definitions, optimistic close dates, misaligned probabilities, stalled deals, quota pressure, and forecasts that shift at the end of the quarter. In this environment, “having CRM data” is not the hard part; trusting the forecast is.
In this Data Challenge, you will step into the role of a Global B2B Sales Operations & Pipeline Analyst for a fictional multinational enterprise selling complex solutions across multiple regions and industries. Your mission is to evaluate the health, reliability, and performance of the company’s sales pipeline across critical dimensions: deal velocity, stage conversion efficiency, forecast accuracy, win/loss performance, revenue concentration, quota attainment, and sales cycle duration.
You will work with real-world pipeline signals—opportunity values, pipeline stages, expected close dates, probability scores, historical win/loss data, sales rep performance, product mix, industry segments, aging buckets, lead sources, and regional quotas—across markets and business units.
Your objective is clear:
Transform raw pipeline data into actionable revenue intelligence (where the forecast is reliable, and where it is at risk).
Identify systemic breakdowns (stage stagnation, probability inflation, late-stage deal slippage, regional underperformance, over-reliance on a few large deals).
Prioritize commercial actions using impact, likelihood, and revenue-at-risk logic—so leadership knows where to intervene first.
You are not just measuring pipeline metrics—you’re telling the story of revenue confidence. The best submissions will connect sales KPIs to business outcomes (growth predictability, resource allocation, margin performance, market expansion) and propose targeted improvements such as stage governance, probability calibration models, deal qualification frameworks, pipeline hygiene processes, and performance monitoring dashboards.
KEY QUESTIONS TO EXPLORE
1. How do pipeline value and deal volume change over time?
2. Which industries and regions contribute most to pipeline value and revenue?
3. At what specific stages do deals tend to slow down or get stuck?
4. Which sales representatives consistently manage the healthiest pipelines?
5. How does the frequency of client engagement activities impact deal success?
6. Which open deals are currently at high risk due to lack of activity?
7. What metadata is missing for this dataset (field definitions, source system, refresh frequency, transformation rules)?
8.How does the average sales cycle length compare between SMB and Enterprise deals?
9. What is the current forecast accuracy based on pipeline stage probabilities?
10. Which specific products or services drive the highest win rates?
Know more about the judging criteria and other requirements
1. Is too much text used for explanation?
2. Are the indicative colors in charts understandable?
3. Does it tell a story?

All tools are permitted for the challenge.
For the ZoomCharts Challenge, create a Power BI report that includes at least 2 ZoomCharts Drill Down Visuals on one report page.
Reports are restricted to a maximum of three pages, including drill-through pages.
Canvas size is 16:9 (Default Power BI size) or Full HD size = w:1920 - h:1080.
Business users use reports to make data-driven decisions. Reports are effective if they enable users to drill down and filter data quickly and intuitively to find answers to any question they might have and analyse data in all possible directions and dimensions.
