Pipeline Velocity
How fast revenue moves through the pipeline: opportunities × win rate × deal size, divided by sales cycle length.

Short answer
Pipeline velocity measures how fast revenue moves through the sales pipeline, calculated as number of opportunities multiplied by win rate and average deal size, divided by sales cycle length. The result expresses revenue generated per day or period. Teams improve velocity by adding qualified opportunities, raising win rates, increasing deal size or shortening the cycle.
