A pipeline should show the next action. Multiple ambiguous waiting stages invite inconsistent decisions. Simplify using real cases while preserving necessary history.
Actions to try
- Ask staff to classify the same examples and record disagreements.
- Define stages by observable conditions and next actions.
- Review automation and reporting effects before merging stages.
An example for your team
Example: distinguish sent proposal and pending review only when each has a real operational meaning.
How to check the improvement
Track classification confusion and missing next steps rather than add stages to hide ambiguity.
