Purpose: A pipeline is a visual or conceptual representation of the progression that an opportunity or lead undergoes on its journey to a successful sale. Depending on the nature of the work or product, a pipeline typically includes multiple stages, with each stage marking a significant step in the process.
Please note:
- If you opt for a sales starter plan, you won't have the Pipeline setting. You will have one default Pipeline.
- You can have many pipelines with multiple stages.
- You cannot delete the pipeline if it is associated with at least one opportunity, but you can archive it.
