  5. Performance Dashboard – pipeline contribution, stage progression, delivery KPIs, CSAT.

Templates

  • Partner kickoff deck (roles, deliverables, SLAs).
  • Integration readiness checklist (systems, documentation, test cases).
  • Joint success plan with KPIs, review cadence, risk tracker.

Tips

  • Capture NDAs, data-sharing agreements, and export control docs in the same workspace.
  • Provide sandbox/demo environments to speed partner validations.
