What Deal Tracker does
The Deal Tracker skill provides a structured approach to managing multiple live deals, allowing users to track key milestones, deadlines, and action items. It is designed for professionals involved in deal-making processes, such as investment bankers, financial advisors, and project managers. By organizing essential information related to each deal, users can maintain a clear overview of their pipeline, ensuring that no important deadlines are missed and that all team members are aligned on the current status of each deal.
The skill enables users to set up each deal with comprehensive details, including deal type, client information, and key dates. This structured setup allows for effective milestone tracking, where users can monitor progress against critical actions and deadlines. The milestone tracking feature includes a clear status indicator, helping users quickly identify which deals are on track, at risk, or delayed. This functionality is particularly useful for teams that need to stay proactive in managing their workload and addressing potential issues before they escalate.
Additionally, the Deal Tracker skill facilitates weekly deal reviews by generating summaries that highlight the status of active deals, upcoming milestones, and any blockers that may hinder progress. This ensures that all team members are informed and prepared for discussions during meetings. The output includes an Excel workbook with detailed information for each deal, making it easy to share updates with stakeholders or team members.
Overall, the Deal Tracker skill is an essential tool for anyone managing a book of business or involved in complex deal processes. By providing clarity and organization, it helps users streamline their workflows and improve collaboration within their teams.

- Client: Seller or buyer name
- Deal type: Sell-side, buy-side, financing, restructuring

- Stage: Pre-mandate → Engaged → Marketing → IOI → Diligence → Final bids → Signing → Close
- Team: MD, VP, Associate, Analyst assigned
- Key dates: Engagement date, CIM distribution, IOI deadline, management meetings, final bid deadline, target close
Step 2: Milestone Tracking
Track key milestones per deal:
| Milestone | Target Date | Actual Date | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Engagement letter signed | ||||
| CIM / teaser drafted | ||||
| Buyer list approved | ||||
| Teaser distributed | ||||

| Bids received / reviewed | ||||
| Exclusivity granted | ||||
| Confirmatory diligence | ||||
| Purchase agreement signed | ||||
| Regulatory approval | ||||
| Close |
Status: On Track / At Risk / Delayed / Complete
Step 3: Action Items
Maintain a running action item list across all deals:
| Action | Deal | Owner | Due Date | Priority | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0/P1/P2 | Open/Done/Blocked |
Step 4: Weekly Deal Review
Generate a summary for weekly team meetings:
For each active deal:
- One-line status update
- Key developments this week
- Upcoming milestones (next 2 weeks)
- Blockers or risks
- Action items for next week
Pipeline summary:
- Total active deals by stage
- Deals at risk (missed milestones, stalled processes)
- New mandates / pitches in pipeline
- Expected closings this quarter
Step 5: Output
- Excel workbook with:
- Pipeline overview (all deals, one row each)
- Per-deal milestone tracker tabs
- Action item master list
- Weekly review summary
- Optional: Markdown summary for email/Slack distribution
Important Notes
- Update the tracker weekly at minimum — stale trackers are worse than no tracker
- Flag deals where milestones are slipping — early warning prevents surprises
- Action items without owners and due dates don't get done — be specific
- The pipeline view should show deal stage, size, and likelihood — useful for revenue forecasting
- Keep notes on buyer/investor feedback — patterns in feedback inform strategy adjustments
- Archive closed/dead deals separately — keep the active view clean
