The Performance Dashboard gives you a high-level view of how your team is performing, built for managers and team leads who need to assess health without opening projects one by one.
It has two views, toggled at the top of the page.
Overview | What is happening now — live workload, delivery pressure, commercial performance and pipeline momentum. |
Learnings | What you have learned so far — aggregate insight drawn from every completed post-mortem across the team. |
Overview tells you where to intervene this week. Learnings tells you what keeps going wrong across bids, which is a different and slower question.
Where to find it
In the left-hand sidebar, click Team.
The Performance page loads by default, on the Overview view.
Overview
The Overview view pulls live data from projects, tasks, questions, deadlines and bid outcomes, so you can see at a glance whether the team is balanced, stretched, or at risk.
It is made up of several insight panels. Depending on the data available for your selected team, these can cover:
Team-wide commercial performance
Pipeline value and stage distribution
Delivery trends and momentum over time
Operational risks and bottlenecks
Capacity pressure across active work
Questions the Overview answers
Is our team currently overloaded?
Are too many live bids creating delivery risk?
Are task, question and deadline volumes manageable?
Is pipeline growth being matched by team capacity?
Where does intervention need to happen first?
Learnings
The Learnings view aggregates the confirmed post-mortems your team has completed, turning individual bid retrospectives into patterns you can act on.
This is the return on completing post-mortems. One post-mortem tells you about one bid; fifty of them tell you why you win and lose.
Headline figures
Completed post-mortems | The total number your team has confirmed. |
Win rate | Your win rate across those bids. |
Average evaluation score | The average score awarded across evaluated submissions. |
Last completed | When the most recent post-mortem was completed. |
Check the last-completed date alongside the others. If it is months old, the patterns below are describing a version of your team that may no longer exist.
Post-mortem breakdowns
Win and loss by client type or industry | Where you perform strongly, and where you consistently do not. |
Win and loss by bid type or procurement route | How outcomes vary by the kind of procurement you are responding to. |
Categorised loss reasons | The main recorded reasons you are losing submissions, drawn from the outcome categories set in each post-mortem. |
Loss reason mix | The relative weight of those reasons against each other. |
Question pain points | Recurring difficulties on particular questions or question types across bids. |
Latest team takeaways | The most recent lessons captured in completed post-mortems. |
Question pain points are the most directly actionable of these. A question type that recurs here is usually a gap in your Bid Library rather than a drafting problem — which makes it fixable once, rather than repeatedly.
What Learnings depends on
Only confirmed post-mortems are included. A post-mortem left in draft contributes nothing here, however thoroughly it was filled in.
The quality of the breakdowns also depends on outcome categories being applied consistently across bids. Free-text reasons do not aggregate; taxonomy categories do. See Completing a post-mortem.
Capacity settings
Capacity Settings in the top-right of the page control the assumptions BidScript uses when calculating workload and availability.
Active Bids Per Member | How many live bids one person can manage before their project capacity is considered full. |
Total Questions Per Member | How many assigned questions one person can carry before question workload begins reducing their availability. |
These two numbers underpin every availability and workload figure shown anywhere in the Team area - the dashboard, the member table and individual profiles all calculate against them.
That makes them worth setting deliberately. Left at values that do not reflect how your team actually works, every availability reading downstream is misleading in the same direction.
Only team admins or organisation admins can change Capacity Settings. Everyone else can view them.
Keeping the data reliable
Both views run on live data, so their accuracy depends on the underlying records being current.
For the Overview, keep project statuses and deadlines, task and question assignments, and task completion progress up to date. A team that does not close out completed tasks will appear more stretched than it is, and the dashboard will point you at the wrong problem.
For Learnings, complete and confirm post-mortems after every bid. The view is only as good as the retrospectives feeding it.
