Mind mapping enables a mixture of structured content with visual planning. I've been using mind mapping as a tool for many years and started to use Software mind mapping tools to share these mind maps with others. I still love to draw ideas on a piece of paper and still use this technique in meetings and brainstorming sessions.
I already mentioned in a previous post that I started by using a free tool: Freemind, but quickly needed a more professional approach. I was starting to use mind mapping for many things, from project plans. to preparing presentations.
Mindjet's MindManager enables to do this and much more. Mindjet's team released a new version last week.
Actually two new products: MindManager 8 for Windows™ and MindManager Web™. The new version of MindManager has now increased capabilities for embedding data, creating hyperlinks, even a very useful search and browse option. Mindmanager web is a SaaS (Software as a Service) that enables online editing and collaboration within mindmaps.
The first improvement that I will be using is the new Mindjet Player. I can now transform my maps and share them with teams and colleagues using PDF or even embedding the map in a web page (See top of this blog for an example).
I still need to test the Automated Task Management function with the faculty to instantly perform summations of task start dates, end dates and level of completion.
