Groups Organization and Deployment Documentation

Groups allow you to organize your team members into logical units for better management, targeted training, and performance tracking. Create groups based on roles, departments, experience levels, or any other criteria that makes sense for your organization.

Overview

Groups serve multiple purposes in Syrenn:

• Team Organization: Structure your team by department, role, or experience level
• Targeted Assignments: Assign scenarios and training to specific groups
• Performance Tracking: Analyze performance by group rather than individual
• Scenario Publishing: Control which groups can access specific scenarios

💡 Tip: Groups are available on Business plans and above. They help you create more targeted and effective training programs.

Creating Groups

Basic Group Creation

1. Navigate to Groups in the sidebar
2. Click "Create New Group"
3. Enter a descriptive group name
4. Click "Create Group"

Group Naming Best Practices

Use clear, descriptive names that reflect the group's purpose:

• Role-based: "Sales Representatives", "Account Managers", "Team Leads"
• Department-based: "Marketing Team", "Customer Success", "Enterprise Sales"
• Experience-based: "New Hires", "Senior Reps", "Advanced Training"
• Project-based: "Product Launch Team", "Q4 Initiative", "Special Projects"

ℹ️ Info: Group names should be clear enough that team members can easily identify which group they belong to.

Using Groups with Scenarios

Scenario Assignment

Assign training scenarios to specific groups:

Batch Operations

Perform operations on multiple group members:

Group Analytics

Performance Tracking

View analytics filtered by group to understand:

• Group Performance: Average scores across all group members
• Completion Rates: How well the group completes assigned training
• Improvement Trends: Performance changes over time
• Individual Contributions: How each member contributes to group performance

Comparative Analysis

Compare performance across different groups:

• Group vs Group: See which groups perform best
• Benchmarking: Set performance standards by group

• Communication: Ensure groups can communicate effectively

3. Clear Purpose

Each group should have a clear purpose and training focus:

• Training Objectives: Define what each group needs to learn
• Skill Levels: Group members should have similar skill requirements
• Experience Levels: Consider grouping by experience for targeted training

4. Regular Review

Periodically review group structure and membership:

• Organizational Changes: Update groups when roles or departments change
• Performance Analysis: Adjust groups based on performance data
• Training Effectiveness: Evaluate whether groups are achieving training goals
• Member Feedback: Incorporate team member input on group structure
