Pipeline Management Introducing the ATLAS pipeline management module United Nations Development Programme Pipeline Management Introducing the ATLAS pipeline management module

What is pipeline management? Pipeline: “The totality of planned programmes, projects, and initiatives that UNDP units/offices are expected to pursue within a foreseeable time in the future.” Identification of new ideas Development of ideas into project proposals Maturing of proposals into fully formed projects Pipeline Management:

Why is pipeline management so important? Pipeline management supports two key objectives: Strategic – it ensures that that UNDP remains focused and the programme portfolio globally, regionally and locally is consistently framed within the Strategic Plan. Financial – it enhances the ability of UNDP to leverage and maximize various partnerships and opportunities for development financing. It also contributes to ensuring financial sustainability of the organization through enabling better informed and more accurate resources projections and making necessary adjustments in internal resource planning.

How will the Pipeline Management module help us achieve these goals? Country Offices will benefit from: a system to manage new projects from ideation to the signing of the project document a corporately-endorsed methodology for predicting volume of future projects and income a common reporting platform for resource planning Regional Bureaux will benefit from: a systematic capture of Country Office pipeline information a standardized methodology of assessing pipeline maturity a system to link pipeline outputs and show alignment to the new Strategic Plan
