About this course
In this course you run the contract desk of a fictional group in a spreadsheet, with every formula checked. You count requests by type and month with COUNTIFS and EOMONTH and measure the month-end backlog. You calculate cycle times in calendar and working days, summarise them with the median and the 90th percentile and split them into stages to find the bottleneck. You test requests against service targets, score clause deviations with a fictional playbook, build a renewal and notice calendar with EDATE and WORKDAY, value auto-renewal exposure and savings at risk, and report contract value under management and workload per reviewer.
