This is more than 10 years. Pros Six sigma Projects. Lean projects. Projects supervised by a PMO, or by a team. Projects. Many projects. Paraphrasing Jursn? Improvement is achieved one project at a time. And here it is where Companion can help. It provides an enterprise project management systems you can use to gathered, compile, and report data from different projects. Companion connects with Workspace (desktop) . Data from every project in Workspace is retrieved by Companion so dashboards can be created. You can answer many questions about your portfolio of projects such as status, people involved, key terms and more. Cons Companion is great working with Workspace. It could be project management professionals using Microsoft Project or other PM solutions may experience Companion as a different approach. Review Source JD Joel D. Lean Specialist Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Essential..." June 27, 2020 5.0 It is essential to our lean initiatives. Prior to Companion we managed everything on Microsoft Excel and was tedious with users who are less versed in the office suite. As an administrator I am able to quickly train subordinates and delegate tasks shortly after with a minimal learning curve as the software is extremely user friendly. Pros The ability to incorporate all the tools needed to manage a project, whether it be a small JDI, a kaizen event or a lengthy DMAIC project, all in one place is really convenient. Time study data, Process flow mapping and VSM's. I was also able to create a yamazumi chart template in order to balance our departments. Cons The sandbox takes getting used to. The software is relatively user friendly as a user but getting in depth with custom form creating takes a little further effort. Alternatives considered [Compass](https://www.capterra.com/p/174916/Compass/) Reason for choosing Minitab Engage Overall ease of use and ability to manage. The tools included within Companion software were just more relevant to our operations than the competition. Review Source CA Catherine A. Assistant Nurse Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "companion by minitab" July 15, 2020 3.0 We are required to use minitab to get our PCAP projects approved. I was not sure how to do this but Rumbi was very helpful to me in learning how to use this program. Pros It keeps my project in a very organized manner. Cons It was very difficult to maneuver around and understand how to find things. Review Source SS Stephen S. Facilitator Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Companion/Workspace is Great!" July 16, 2020 5.0 I don't believe there is anything close to competing with Companion by Minitab or Workspace for those in business and industry that are managing many projects that may use a plethora of different tools and applications. There is nothing that makes things as simple as these programs. I teach LSS Black Belts and Master Black Belts as dozens of companies and I wouldn't recommend any other software for them to manage their projects. It is phenomenal. Pros Companion/Workspace by Minitab is a very intuitively-designed software program for Continuous Improvement specialists to manage projects all in one place. A common headache is the need for many programs. This has all of the soft skill templates, forms and project flow in one place. Cons There is some individual tool functionality that can be improved, such as the Prioritization of Inputs (X's) taken from a Process Map. But, as an overall software, the few improvements that would be necessary are nothing compared to the changes and improvements that Minitab has made over the past 13+ years that I've used the product since it's Quality Companion days.

Pros I love the available tools and templates available for each project type Cons I think for the beginners I would like an assistant much like the Minitab assistant to help folks pick the right tool. Reason for choosing Minitab Engage I loved Minitab itself and the companion component just enhance both software uses.

Manager of Continuous Improvement Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Companion" June 24, 2020 5.0 Overall the experience has been great. It was a tool that i had been looking for for some time. Pros We really like the dashboard and the project repository. The dashboard allow our VP's to look at it and at a quick glance be able to see the status of our projects and savings goals. With the repository I am able to go into it and see exactly what my team is working on and the status of the projects. Also it is very easy to customize the software to what you need Cons At first there are some features that seemed hidden and were hard to find. Bit once we started to use it you start finding out what it can do.

Cons It could be more integrated with Microsoft programs, but that is not necessarily a problem. Review Source PB Pawel B. Senior Validation Engineer Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Companion helps with Green Belt project" June 24, 2020 5.0 I used Companion for my Green Belt project to handle whole documentation in one place. I have found it very helpfull and have not noticed any big issues during work. The ease of use, attached templates, possibility to share project with others (i.e. reviewers) and support for external documents handling were most important features I have used. Pros The SW was for me easy to use due to DMAIC tools templates already attached into project. That helps a lot for proper organizing the work and selection of tools. The process of attaching supporting documents into project works without any issues. Cons The SIPOC template is sufficient for some general items, but making more detailed table in structured way was too complicated and finally I gave up with this - created one in Excel, exported to pdf and attached as external document.

Pros It's a software which combines nearly everything you need for a quality project. The built-in apps are extremely powerful. Cons It's a bit costly! I hope you can allow other visualization tools to connect to Companion data, such as Power BI. Review Source LC Luis C. Process Engineer Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent Project Tracking" July 14, 2020 5.0 Pros Easy to implement tracking, management of projects, archiving documents related to project, and dashboard.
