Everything related to your project is saved in a single project file. The project file is where you develop and maintain the project roadmap. The roadmap organizes your project into phases. As you go through each phase, you add and complete the tools, forms, documents, and analyses you use to execute your project.
You use tools and forms to collect data about your project. For example, you can use a mapping tool to map the process that is failing, a brainstorming tool to capture possible reasons why the process is failing, and forms to analyze and document the steps you are taking to improve the process.
You can attach non-Workspace files or web pages to your project so you can directly access them.
When you rename a Minitab project, the new name is only displayed in Workspace, not in Minitab.
Workspace automatically saves a backup copy of a project each time that you open the project. Workspace keeps the most recent 25 backup projects. A backup file contains the contents of the project as they were the last time you opened the project successfully. The backup file has a .bak extension and is located in a hidden folder on your computer.
