Sync Matrix (SM)

The Sync Matrix tool is a key component in Argonne’s Synchronization Matrix Planning Process —a structured problem-solving approach that facilitates the development of preparedness plans. This specially designed software provides emergency management professionals with an interactive planning tool that presents a picture of the many interactions that occur as a response unfolds over time. It helps emergency planners better organize, visualize, and analyze the flow of activities within and across response jurisdictions, be they “geo-political” areas (states, counties, and municipalities), corporate entities (national, regional, district, and individual stores), or departments and agencies of a larger organization structure. The software serves as a collaborative workspace, allowing the planning team to work individually or as a team, as appropriate. It also serves as a record of planning processes for later use in orienting new staff, informing elected leaders, guiding a response, or completing after-action analyses. Designed for ease of use, Sync Matrix uses a frame structure similar to other software products that users may already be familiar with. (Additional details)
