    Pipelines runs in the background.  It is not possible to have the last step in a Pipeline control the user's screen.

    You can however have a URL formula button to launch edit a record and trigger the Pipelines and then immediately redirect the user to a record or report. But they will arrive before the Pipeline has completed.  You could land them on a an admin type record with a time stamp of when the pipeline was triggered and have the Pipeline stamp that record when it completed. Then the user could keep refreshing that page until it finished and then provide a link they click hen the pipeline has completed to get to where you want them to be.
