Sprint S17 — Deal Risk Signal: overdue and slipping close dates as a traffic light
· 2 min read
Sprint S17 closes a gap in the existing deal health traffic light (S04): an upcoming close date was already shown as a warning — but a close date that had already passed, or one that kept getting pushed later, stayed invisible. Both signals are now part of the risk score.
What's new
- Overdue signal — an open deal whose close date is in the past is immediately flagged as "at risk" instead of quietly aging unnoticed
- Slippage signal — Pragma now remembers a deal's original close date; if it's later pushed out, that shows up as its own warning (14+ days of slippage escalates to "at risk")
- Both signals flow automatically into the existing pipeline traffic light, the
/api/deals/risk-scoreslist, and the Kanban cards — no new view required - The lightweight deals-only board (Kanban without a lead link) now also shows an overdue/slipped badge directly on the card
Why this matters
A close date that keeps getting pushed back is often the earliest warning sign of a stalling deal — earlier than inactivity or silence become visible. Previously this had to be tracked manually; now the pipeline surfaces it on its own, without sales or management having to learn a new metric.
