Welcome to the June issue of Olympic News.
In this issue:
- Power Markers Version 2 Released
- OPTi-P2 Update
- Small Team Licence Offers
New version of Power Markers™ for MindManager® brings dashboard maps to life
| We are pleased to tell you that version 2 of Power Markers™ for MindManager® is now available for download.
Power Markers™ is an extension for Mindjet MindManager® 7 and 8 for Windows, and makes it easy to work with your maps by automatically creating to-do lists from them. So as well as representing your information or project visually, you can see the status of your map at a glance, with all your next actions collected together in one list, wherever they are in the map. This is perfect for “dashboard” maps that represent work in progress. You can mark actions and key information points anywhere in your map, and Power Markers will track them in the “Hot Lists” so that you can always get to them with one click. It makes even the biggest maps simple to navigate and maintain, greatly enhancing their value and extending their useful lifetime. |

FREE PRINCE2® Health Check
OPTi-P2™, the Olympic PRINCE2® project management solution is nearing release and to celebrate we have produced a FREE standalone map for MindManager® of just one of the many components the full OPTI-P2™ solution will have upon release in early 2010.
OPTi-P2 PRINCE2 Health Check Map
The map is compatible with the following versions of MindManager®:
- MindManager® Pro 6
- MindManager® Pro 7
- MindManager® 8
The map is a Project Health Check based on the recommended tasks of the current PRINCE2® method as published by the Office of Government Commerce in June 2009.
The map uses another product available from Olympic, X-Macros™, to enable macro code to run in the map without the need for any add-in installation. You can find out more about X-Macros™ here.
Simply copy the map for each project, check the task check boxes for each task that is carried out and use the “Update” topic to automatically rate the current state of the project with regards to its compliance to the method.
Main topics automatically change to Red, Amber or Green depending on the process state providing a quick visual guide to see what may need attention or what may have been overlooked. Completed maps also provide a historical record of how the project was managed.
Register here to get your FREE copy of this essential PRINCE2® project compliance tool and receive updates about the upcoming full release of OPTi-P2™, the solution that makes managing PRINCE2® project documentation simple.
