Quality Companion is an all-in-one package that complements the company’s flagship product, Minitab Statistical Software, which companies worldwide use to tackle the statistical data analysis at the heart of every Six Sigma project.

Quality Companion 3 introduces many new features, including: 

• The ability to import Microsoft Visio diagrams 
• User-created custom data fields and categories 
• More powerful Project Manager 
• New brainstorming templates 
• Many ease-of-use improvements 

Quality Companion makes it easy to outline, complete and present projects. At the start of a project, the Project Roadmap helps plot a clear course of action. Adding built-in tools to the Roadmap creates a detailed plan for the entire project—and the means to complete each step.

Quality Companion provides essential "soft" tools such as process mapping, brainstorming and reporting. It also includes more than 100 templates, including C&E Matrix, FMEA and Project Charter, which are easily customized to fit any organization. 

The software offers on-demand guidance, with built-in Coaches that give expert advice from experienced Six Sigma professionals.

When a project ends, Companion maintains the entire project in one easy-to-manage file, making it simple to archive and review in the future.

Quality Companion 3 includes the enhanced Quality Companion Dashboard, a utility that aggregates and displays details of all projects in a single view.
