This add-in is designed to be extended through user feedback and participation. The collection will be expanded where possible to meet user requirements and demands. This means that YOU, the user, has the chance to make the add-in a more valuable tool for you and others by submitting suggestions for improvements and new functions that we might be able top add.

With the OPTi-Suite installed, MindManager becomes even quicker at creating and managing your information.

The management of Quality Management System documentation does not need to be complex. OPTi-Q™ makes this important aspect of your Quality management System simple. Whether your system is based on ISO 9001 or another Quality Standard or method, OPTi-Q™ can make all the difference in successfully delivering your QMS to the organisation.

OPTi-Q™ is a new and unique application that helps manage and navigate Quality Management System, (QMS), documentation, particularly those systems that are based on the ISO 9001:2008 standard. Using the leading Business Mapping software, Mindjet® MindManager®, as a delivery platform, OPTi-Q™ enables the creation, distribution, amendment and navigation of all your QMS documents in a user-friendly visual format.

OPTi-Q™ enables quality to easily create new procedures, work instructions and reports and automatically build them into the QMS for all employees to access through a free viewer.

If you are just starting to design your QMS then OPTi-Q™ can help you as it comes with a complete generic Quality Manual for customization saving you time and money as well as basic templates for quality procedures, work instructions, quality policy and quality reports.

If you already have an established QMS, OPTi-Q™ enables you to create the visual QMS framework and then bring in your existing documents so employees can then access the QMS information through the visual interface provided by the viewer.

PRINCE2® is one of the most successful project management methodologies of the last twenty years. It continues to increase in popularity and following with each year and recently underwent a “refresh” of the previous 2005 edition of the method.

We have developed a solution to help you create, edit, manage and access the management products of your PRINCE2 projects. That solution is OPTi-P2™.

OPTi-P2 is designed for both experienced PRINCE2 practitioners as well as those new to the method. If you are a seasoned practitioner, you will find OPTi-P2 invaluable for enabling quick access to the refreshed version of the method. If you are just starting out on your PRINCE2 journey you will find the solution gives you a re-inforced understanding of the method while you study for the PRINCE2 foundation and practioner exams. It will also provide you with an excellent way to start managing your projects and cement your newly learned knowledge and skills in the process.

OPTi-P2 uses the leading business information management application, Mindjet® MindManager® to deliver its visual framework. This allows you the freedom to customise and tailor your project from beginning to end in a way that no other solution currently offers with the newly updated material from the Office of Government Commerce.

One of the first things that most users of Mindjet® MindManager® do when they start using the application is link documents into their maps. MindManager® users in disciplines from Project Management to Technical Authorship and users groups from Project Teams to individual Lawyers or Solicitors are all managing documentation of one type or another in their MindManager® Maps.

Minutes from meetings, project documentation such as Project Briefs, Risk Logs, Plans etc, Customer Proposals, Books, Specifications, Quotes/Tenders and Presentations, the list is endless. All of these documents change during their lifetime creating multiple instances of the document over each iteration/revision and ideally you need to keep records/copies of these changes to provide audit accountability or to reference at a later date. That’s where OPTi-Docs™ comes in.

Up until now there has been no real way of controlling the localised documents that MindManager® is linked to and although you can open documents and then edit them there is no simple way to keep a history of the revisions of a particular document (or any file type for that matter) without having to manually create copies and rename files etc. OPTi-Docs™ for MindManager® changes all of that.
