We’ve just launched Optsee.com, a new website for our newest (and oldest) software product: Optsee®.
It is our oldest product because Optsee® was our very first project portfolio management application. It is our newest product because Optsee® 5 is a complete re-write of Optsee® based on the Bubble Chart Pro™ application platform.
Optsee® 5 is currently in public beta testing, and I encourage you to download the free trial and give it a try. I think you’ll like what you find.
If you’re a Bubble Chart Pro™ user, than you will find the Optsee® 5 user interface to be very familiar.
On top of all the features of Bubble Chart Pro™ OPTIMAL, Optsee® 5 adds a whole new level of business analytics to our project portfolio management software products including:
- Integrated Monte Carlo simulation-prioritization that allows you to run your portfolios thousands of times to understand the the best, worst, and most likely potential outcomes
- Three optimizers, including a genetic optimizer for optimizing large project portfolios
- The capability to “force-in” and “force-out” projects in optimizations
- The capability to optimize against multiple dependency constraints
- The capability to save and compare multiple project portfolio optimizations
- You can save multiple sub-sets of projects as “Portfolio Views” so you can display different portfolio ideas in a single click
- Efficient Frontier charts let you instantly compare different Portfolio Views, so your picking the best portfolios, not the best projects
- Baseline tracking lets you “snap” project and portfolio baselines so you can track change over time in Trend Tracker forms
- Alert indicators in the portfolio form let you know if a project has had a major or minor change
- Alert indicators in the project form let you know if a project attribute has had a major or minor change, and the direction of the change
