P2G - Amazon Glossary

 Path to Green (P2G) is used across Amazon’s project management, operations, and performance reporting to define a clear, actionable recovery plan for anything that is currently underperforming - typically marked as "red" (critical) or "yellow" (at-risk) in internal dashboards.

P2G typically includes:

• Root cause identification (why the target is off-track)
• Corrective actions and specific tasks
• Timelines and ownership for resolution
• Expected outcomes and success metrics

Where P2G is used:

• Vendor performance reviews (e.g. OTIF, fill rate, chargeback reduction)
• Project management for product or feature launches
• Team performance dashboards (finance, retail, logistics, tech)
• Weekly Business Reviews (WBRs) or Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs)

Why P2G matters:

• Provides a structured framework for getting KPIs back on track
• Encourages accountability and cross-team collaboration
• Allows leadership to track progress toward goal recovery
• Critical for avoiding escalations and maintaining trust with Amazon

💡 Example: A vendor with an OTIF score of 89% (below Amazon’s 95% target) submits a P2G plan outlining root causes (carrier delays), actions (booking compliance retraining), and a timeline to recover within 60 days.

In short:
P2G (Path to Green) is a structured action plan used at Amazon to bring an underperforming metric, project, or partnership back into “green” - or acceptable - status.
