Hi,

I am a new Gainsight Admin and stakeholders and end-users at my company are very interested in documenting SWOT analysis in Gainsight. Are there best practices for documenting a SWOT analysis in Gainsight?

Hey, I am working on this now. What we are doing is leveraging Success Plans with objectives based on the SWOT analysis that's within the plan itself. Another option would be to upload a shared doc as an attachment in the timeline per customer. Did that help? Happy to connect offline if you're interested.

Hi Jasmine, 

Welcome to the Community! You may have seen this already, but we have some basic info on setting up SWOT CTA Types.

Thank you both for the responses :)

@Lila Meyer, I've already set-up the SWOT as a CTA object from the  link you posted. 

@Ben Timmons The account management team wants an idea of the best way to do/document their SWOT analysis for reporting. I'm unsure if we can run reports based on "Timeline".

I've tried to walk the team through doing a SWOT analysis within the "Success Plan" feature but it didn't appear very intuitive.

A few Account Managers came up with a few ideas:

1. Create a SWOT objective in the "Success Plan" then create strengths, weakenesses, opportunities, and threats as tasks.

2. Create a SWOT as a CTA in cockpit. Add a playbook instructing Account Managers how to create a SWOT for their accounts.

3. Upload SWOT Analysis as a separate word document within the timeline feature in Gainsight.

I appreciate any recommendations to pass along to the account management team.

Thank you!

Hi Jasmine,

Here's a quick.gif on how to upload attachments in Timeline activities.

This article section also contains more fyi's about attachments (5 attachments per activity and maximum file size per attachment is 5 MB, etc.).
