4. Team Responsibilities: Assigns tasks, deadlines, and accountability across projects—critical for effective Project Management.
5. Reports & KPIs: Automated summary reports with key performance indicators (KPIs) such as conversion rates, average deal size, and sales cycle duration.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To improve visual clarity and highlight critical actions:

• Red Background for "Closed-Lost" status: Flags failed deals to trigger root cause analysis.
