MindManager

My recommendation will be based on the purpose. For general use, some free, open source or simple mindmap many tools are already available. For the export format in office documents, I think it was good.

+ It’s good if You want to visualize data from different views. Like categorized or filtered information. + It’s good for making smaller project plans direct from brainstormed ideas. + It’s very good for structuring a big document with different chapters. - It’s lacking when you want to visualize multi-relations between different objects.

Good at soft systems analysis scenarios. That is putting word documents together for interview questions. User Manuals for software applications and the like. I mainly make use of it for personal use for my day job.

It is a multitool for every problem in business live...
If you have a professional PM Tool - mindmanager is obsulete for Projekt management

MindManager is very well suited to organizing the ideas that are in your head and putting them into paper. It is a very good tool to show other people in a graphic way the way you think and how different stakeholders or processes interact with each other. MindManager is not the best tool if you are looking for a very attractive and original tool to use in a presentation

MindManager was used in Sprint 0 Agile planning sessions to track workflow steps and important details on them. MindManager was used in mapping a large amount of information into organized, hierarchically connected "buckets" MindManager was used in mapping user requirements and documenting the work breakdown.

The MindManager tool is very useful for complex topics as it grows dynamically with the maturity of work. It shows enough flexibility as the full picture is not known at the beginning. More templates like Kanban charts would help in broader usage of tools. More flexibility in export functions would make it easier to integrate into our business processes.

I think it is clearly the best way to make a to-do list. My weekly list is essentially my dashboard for the week. Every Monday morning I spend a few minutes updating the previous map and it gets me on track for the coming week. I've not found the Gantt chart functions very user-friendly. It would be great to improve this.

This is the single best tool to help visual learners express themselves on complex matters in my opinion. I have tried and used other programs that have certain elements, but this is far and away from the best option for me. The more complex the problem, the more that using this pays off. I tend to start in almost brainstorming mode and then move to group items and either arrange them in terms of process flow or simply organizationally.

Mind Manager is great when brainstorming remotely. It could also work if brainstorming in person, but it is kind of hard to see if you are in a large room unless you zoom in or out. I wish that there were more icons to make it more visually appealing. It is also great for capturing process maps ad hoc, Visio requires a bit more skill and with Mind Manager, you don't need to spend as much time formatting it. I really like their Venn Diagram map but I cannot figure out how to add additional circles? So for basic things, I think it is great, but you will likely need to Google instructions for more advanced applications. OR you will have to start from scratch without using a template.

MindManager has worked well for brainstorming sessions, breaking down a complex process into its interdependent components, and showing that all requirements of a system have been validated. It has been less effective when individuals on the team have tried to drive development processes and schedules solely through mind maps because it is difficult to allocate resource planning and quickly understand schedule health.

Great for getting all the details related to an outcome. Works from big to small. I don't think it would work well for small to big. I can have a concept and then go to what needs to be done, what features to include, who would we implement, etc.

MindManager is specifically helpful in creating taxonomy at an enterprise level. It is a good tool for collaboration as you can use different mind maps and brainstorm. This tool can also come in handy for keeping meeting notes and expanding on them later in further meetings. It will be very helpful in design and planning.

[MindManager is well suited for] collecting and organizing various types of information is very appropriate[.]

Managing tasks for a project timeline may not be very easily done on a MindMap[.]

Extremely well suited for Lean 6-sigma projects, problem solving (5 why's), and mind mapping thoughts around complex issues. Very good for brainstorming with colleagues since entry is very simple on the fly

I would recommend MindManager if they are not using any visual tool to easily translate ideas onto a virtual whiteboard.

Suited for concepts mapping. Unsuitable for almost nothing.

Version 2020 would have gotten a 10. Version 2021 has features removed. Great for reviewing large project plans provided they can be imported. 2020 is a great tool for creating curriculum and presentations, then exporting them quickly to MS Powerpoint.

MindMapper can be the complex hierarchy of a company's matrix management. Not only does it easily create data flow charts, complex organograms, flow diagrams, and data flow diagrams, MindMapper can import information directly, live, from Excel sheets or Access databases, making the diagrams functional and current. This organization is currently using this software to monitor network status across a localized broadband system. MindMapper is available to Windows and Mac users, compared to Visio which is Windows-only. Software is expensive when compared to other applications available. For an organization with limited budget options, this may not be the ideal choice.

MindManager is great tool for project planning and task management. It is also very well suited for creating impressive dashboards quickly for management reporting, status tracking, and collaboration. It is a one-stop-shop for visual overview of detailed information. I think it is also a very effective and easy to use tool for project management. Plus, it is fun to use.

MindManager may be less appropriate to some extent in large complex projects but it can still add significant value if used along with other tools for management of complex large projects.

Well suited for project planning and troubleshooting complex processes.

Life and work, shopping, planning, writing a publication, sorting data, MindManager works in all parts of my life. Just please, please give me the bowtie template so I can get rid of the other stupid [software.] How hard can it be? I have already given [MindManager] this feedback. Why send out surveys when [they do] not fix the last to-do list. Just make those bowtie risk assessment templates for me. It [takes] a million [years] and a lunch pack for me in powerpoints.

MindManager is excellent for

• brainstorming
• organizing thoughts for a talk or presentation
• linking to files on your computer or URLs on the internet

It is also very easy to reorder and reorganize minor or major areas of an outline.

MindManager is ideal for preparation of grant proposals, in which you have specific criteria outlined by a sponsor and then need to basically "fill out" these different areas with your text argument.

Strategic plan development and proposal development. It allows you to visually organize your document and manage the content sent to you but multiple users.
