Must I be an expert in "Getting Things Done" to use ResultsManager?
No. ResultsManager can be used without any knowledge of David Allen's "Getting Things Done". We recommend GTD as a powerful way to organise your information and commitments. ResultsManager gives you a way to use MindManager in this process.
ResultsManager also helps you to use MindManager to implement other well-known methods.
Will I learn the "Getting Things Done" process by using ResultsManager?
No. We do not aim to teach the "Getting Things Done" process with ResultsManager, and recommend David Allen's books, seminars and other media. Refer to www.davidco.com for full details.
I already use "Getting Things Done". Are there any benefits in using ResultsManager?
Yes. MindManager and ResultsManager will help you to easily visualise projects and identify your key areas of focus. ResultsManager also lets you use GTD as a collaborative system, by creating individual dashboards for different users, from pools of shared maps or projects. Many people who use GTD have jobs where they must think, plan and take decisions. MindManager is a valuable tool for these activities, and ResultsManager extends its capabilities so that activities can be systematically tracked and shared.
Is there a book I can read about "Getting Things Done"?
GTD uses the term "Subprojects". Why doesn't ResultsManager do the same?
"GTD" is just one of the solutions that ResultsManager delivers. It can be used for non-GTD applications, or as a document tracking system, issue database or more. So not all the terms we use are exclusively GTD-compliant. If you prefer to use "Subproject" instead of "Result", change to Power User mode and click the ResultsManager tab | Options group | Options | ResultsManager Options. There is an option that will display "Subproject" in the dialogues.
