Bus/Financial - Retail / A game
French term or phrase: le post-it de synthèse
This is from a business computer game. Here is the sentence:

"Vous devez résoudre cette situation pour obtenir le post-it de synthèse"

Is this an artificial post-it?

post-it summary
Explanation:
As a reference for the source term – this is a bit weird – I found an "obsolete" webpage in a list of ghits for "post-it de synthèse":
BUT: les post-it de synthèse ont pour but de fournir une synthèse des discussions en cours sur les thèmes concernés.

Here's an English reference for the target term:
"Play post-it summary. Have each group prepare four questions and answers and assign a point value to each one (10, 20, 30, 40). Place them on a flipchart in columns (if you have three teams, you’ll have three columns, etc.) and assign a point value to each post-it. Teams will choose from any column other than their own."
http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:oJEPQjxSrZIJ:www.a... - page 6

IMO, it doesn't matter, for this term, whether the game is on line or on a board. ;-)

Oh, I forgot to mention: the idea – or post-it – with the most points is listed by the project team as a recommendation for the next project.
