Project pipeline management encompasses steps to ensure that the relevant number of project proposals are generated, evaluated, and executed at different project development stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, Let&#8217;s understand the Project Pipeline<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Project pipeline is a visual representation of all the stages a project goes through from start to finish. It acts as a simple project pipeline tracker using which business owners or managers can understand the individual stages and phases of different projects and the progress they have made so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The project pipeline is not much different from the tracker that you see on your food delivery app that shows multiple order stages (Restaurant has confirmed the order\/ Food is being prepared\/ Food out for delivery, etc.)&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a very similar fashion, a project pipeline tells you the exact stage of your projects at a single glance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><pre><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofsproject.com\/blog\/build-high-performing-teams\/\">How to Build High Performing Teams (10 Ways)<\/a><\/strong><\/pre><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_should_businesses_focus_on_project_pipeline_management\"><\/span><b>Why should businesses focus on project pipeline management?&nbsp;<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From ensuring the timely delivery of tasks to reducing the scope of rework to the bare minimum, there are several reasons that compel businesses to focus on project pipeline management. Let\u2019s take a look at some of the vital reasons below:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>1. Monitor the progress of your projects<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofsproject.com\/blog\/keys-to-success-in-project-management\/\">successful project delivery<\/a>, you need to diligently track your projects throughout their lifecycle. With project pipeline management, you easily understand the stages covered by a project and the stages that are yet to be completed.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>2. Gain a holistic view<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is common for managers to get lost in the nitty-gritty of daily tasks. A project pipeline offers a bird\u2019s eye view of various projects such that the end-goal is always clear in mind.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>3. Plan your budget and resources<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding what your team members are working on helps you understand where your project&#8217;s budget is going. Depending on the current stage of your project, you can hire more resources and allocate budget wherever needed.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>4. Focus on priorities<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Project pipeline management allows you to know if you are actually working on your priorities. You can understand what\u2019s not going as per plan- Are some stages such as &#8216;Project Review&#8217; taking more time than normal? Is your project facing &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofsproject.com\/blog\/project-scope-creep\/\">scope creep<\/a>&#8216;?&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_5_Stages_of_Project_Pipeline_Management\"><\/span><strong>The 5 Stages of Project Pipeline Management&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The journey of a raw idea to a finished project incorporates several important stages. While there can be many stages depending on the nature of a project, we have compiled 5 that can together act as your standard project pipeline.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Ideation&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the brainstorming stage in which new ideas are generated. Ideation is important for capturing project proposals needed for creating high-quality projects.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask every single team member to share their unique inputs- you never know when a simple idea might turn out to be your best project.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>To make the most of the ideation stage, here are some more tips:&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than using sticky notes to write down ideas, you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofsproject.com\/blog\/best-project-management-software\/\">project management software<\/a> that allows your employees to easily collaborate and share ideas with each other.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep a note of important information pertaining to an idea such as its source, the date it was created, the feedback received, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to clear out ideas that don\u2019t fit well or cannot be delivered within a limited time frame or a realistic budget.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Proposed Projects&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ideas that are good enough, reach this stage and are presented to key stakeholders for their approval.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have settled on an idea and your team is ready to work on it, you create a <a href=\"https:\/\/slidemodel.com\/sales-pitch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">formal presentation to pitch to your clients<\/a> or other stakeholders. Factors such as the scope of the project, the budget, and desired outcomes are discussed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Why is this stage important?&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You cannot possibly start with a project just because you feel good about it. For instance, if you wish to launch a new product line, you will need approval from investors, business partners, market experts, and in some cases important clients.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case there are any changes requested by the stakeholders, you can work on gaps and share follow-up proposals at the earliest.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Planning&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have secured the much-needed approval, now it\u2019s time to give shape to your project with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofsproject.com\/blog\/agile-planning\/\">proper planning<\/a>. Planning helps you break your project into multiple tasks, assign them to key team members, and create a plan for monitoring their progress closely.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Here are some crucial steps to take during the planning stage:&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create project tasks as well as sub-tasks<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create a team and allot them roles and responsibilities<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assign tasks and sub-tasks to team members<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assign due dates for every task<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arrange meetings for close monitoring&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to be extra careful during this stage and ensure that no single member or team is assigned more tasks than they can achieve. To prevent a haywire situation, make sure that project dates don&#8217;t overlap with the dates of other projects.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once, the plan is ready, share it with all team members to build clarity. All team members must be well aware of their roles and responsibilities, and what the business expects from them.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Read More:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofsproject.com\/blog\/project-planning-guide\/\">A Step By Step Guide To Project Planning<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&nbsp;4. Project in Progress&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When projects reach the &#8216;In progress&#8217; phase, the real work begins. This is the execution stage in which your team members put their hearts and souls into the project.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Here are certain tips to make this high-pressure stage a smooth ride:<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Update the progress of tasks with their respective due dates<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hold regular team meetings to check if everyone is on the same page<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofsproject.com\/blog\/project-management-kpis\/\">Track key performance indicators<\/a> (KPIs) and measure performance<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Share progress reports with key stakeholders<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify problem areas and resolve them<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Out of all the stages that compose a project pipeline, this stage consumes the most time and effort. You have to constantly deal with clients, other managers, as well as different team members.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Completed Projects&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Projects reach this final stage when they are completed and delivered to the client.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this stage, you can celebrate a successful project completion. But while you celebrate, it\u2019s important to assess results, analyze performance, and find out areas where you could have performed better.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, let\u2019s say your project was completed for $15,000. If you get a similar project in the future, you will know how you can prevent going over-budget and complete the same project with less money at hand. That\u2019s the beauty of experience!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify and reward your top performers who made the project completion a breeze.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you identify your strengths, don\u2019t ignore the weaknesses. Provide feedback to members who need to pull up their socks and perform better. A great way to do this is by arranging regular training sessions for your employees to hone their skills and improve their craft.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofstraining.com\/blog\/develop-first-employee-training-program\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Develop Your First Employee Training Program<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Project_Pipeline_Example\"><\/span><strong>Project Pipeline Example&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s understand how a project pipeline works with the help of an example. Let\u2019s say, you are a software company that wants to create a new mobile application for buying furniture online.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Stage 1: Ideation<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the first stage, you invite ideas from all your team members. While designers share ideas related to the user-interface and color-scheme, the marketing team expresses the need to place multiple Call to Action (CTA) buttons.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Stage 2: Proposed&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You gather all the beautiful ideas together and make a practical pitch to key stakeholders. They put forward their own ideas, request certain changes, and finally give the nod.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Stage 3: Planning<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You decide who will design the app, who will be responsible for product photography, how the final checkout process will be managed, and how products will be shipped. You even assign due dates for all these tasks to ensure everything can be completed in time.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Stage 4: In Progress<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, the real action begins. Your team members work hard to create an intuitive online app. They run multiple tests to check for bugs or crashes.
