Definition

Current RPO is the slice of total RPO that will become revenue within 12 months. Most public SaaS report it alongside total RPO. The cRPO/total-RPO ratio indicates contract duration mix - high ratio means short contracts; low ratio means lots of multi-year deals. CFOs use cRPO growth as a leading indicator for revenue.
