Opportunity Visibility

Opportunity Visibility is the access-design question for open deals: which stakeholders outside the deal team can see which fields, and what they may change.

Marketing may need stage and close date to time campaigns; customer success may need product interest to prepare expansion; finance may need amount and terms.

The design decision is field-level, not all-or-nothing — visibility without edit rights for most adjacent teams, with specific exceptions.

A practical example

Example: customer success sees a renewal opportunity's stage and product lines but not discount fields; they use the stage to time a usage review before the negotiation starts.

What to evaluate before investing

  • Check whether access can be set per field and per role, not just record-level read or write.
  • Verify external edits, where allowed, are logged with user and timestamp.
  • Confirm sensitive fields like pricing can be excluded while still exposing stage and timing.

Limitations and tradeoffs

Tradeoff: broader visibility speeds up cross-team plays but increases the chance of adjacent teams acting on stale or misread deal context.
