When Can Teams Use Synoptic Tables to Organize Information?
Synoptic tables are a useful tool for teams to organize and present information in a structured and concise way. Here are some examples of how teams can use synoptic tables:
- Project management: A team can use a synoptic table to track the progress of a project. The table can include columns for tasks, due dates, assigned team members, and completion status. This allows the team to quickly see which tasks are on schedule and which ones need attention.
- Sales tracking: A sales team can use a synoptic table to track their leads and sales. The table can include columns for lead source, contact information, sales stage, and conversion rate. This allows the team to easily track their progress and identify areas where they need to focus their efforts
- Customer support: A customer support team can use a synoptic table to track customer issues and resolutions. The table can include columns for customer name, issue description, assigned support staff, and resolution status. This allows the team to efficiently manage customer issues and ensure timely resolutions.
- Marketing campaigns: A marketing team can use a synoptic table to track their campaigns and results. The table can include columns for campaign name, target audience, channels used, budget, and ROI. This allows the team to evaluate the effectiveness of their campaigns and make data-driven decisions for future marketing efforts.
- Training and development: A team responsible for training and development can use a synoptic table to track employee training progress. The table can include columns for employee name, training modules, completion dates, and scores. This allows the team to quickly identify areas where employees may need additional training and track their progress over time.
How to Create a Synoptic Table Collaboratively with a Team?
Open a Creately workspace and share it with your team to collaborate on creating the synoptic table. You can use real-time mouse cursors and synced previews to easily track the changes other participants make in the workspace.
Identify the elements or features that you want to compare and contrast. These will become the columns of your synoptic table. And then identify the options, products, or solutions that you want to compare. These will become the rows of your synoptic table.
Create a table using Creately’s intuitive table shape or use a prebuilt synoptic table template. Label the columns with the elements or features you want to compare, and label the rows with the options, products, or solutions.
Encourage team members to brainstorm ideas for each option, product, or solution and enter them into the relevant cells of the table.
Review the synoptic table to make sure that it is clear and easy to read, and make any necessary adjustments to formatting, such as font size, color, and alignment. Add any additional information or analysis that you think will be useful, such as images, charts, or descriptions using notes. You can easily track any change done to the synoptic table with the version history option.
Share the synoptic table by either exporting it in a preferred image format for publishing, embedding, and printing or share a workspace link with edit or review privileges.
