How to Build a Programme Conversion Heat Map

Follow these steps to get results in under a minute

Set the academic year and intake period

Enter the academic year and the specific intake or semester you are analysing. This populates the dashboard header and PDF report title for your institutional records.

Enter funnel data for each programme

Add each academic programme and input the count of prospects at each funnel stage — Inquiries, Applications, Offers Made, and Enrolled. You can add as many programmes as needed and leave any stage blank if it is not tracked.

Choose the metric and generate the heat map

Select the conversion metric you want to colour-code: end-to-end inquiry-to-enroll rate, application conversion, or yield rate. The heat map instantly renders with green cells for high converters and red for low, making programme performance gaps visible at a glance.

Thilanka Fernando

Head of Admissions

★★★★★

"Seeing every programme's funnel conversion in one color-coded grid immediately revealed that our MBA programme had a high inquiry volume but terrible offer-to-enroll yield. We fixed the follow-up process and saw a 14% improvement the next intake."

Roshani Jayasuriya

Admissions Manager

★★★★★

"The heat map format made it obvious in under two seconds which programmes were underperforming. Green cells mean our counsellors are converting well; red cells are immediate action items. This view replaced three separate spreadsheets."

Prasad Wijesinghe

Dean of Faculty

★★★★☆

"We share the PDF export in our quarterly faculty meeting. The colour scale needs no explanation — department heads immediately understand where their programme sits against the others and what questions to ask admissions."

Chatura Bandara

Academic Planning Officer

★★★★★

"The inquiry-to-enrolled end-to-end metric is the single most important number for institutional planning. Having it colour-coded by programme across one view has transformed how our leadership team reviews intake performance."
