Because you can insert attachments and hyperlinks into the mindmaps you can have a multi-media document with images, text from other documents and even webpage links. Because you can link one mindmap to many other mindmaps it is very easy to have an overview document that then links to deep dives into the details in other mindmaps while all the time keeping each one up to date with changes in the other mindmap.
One use I hadn't expected was with a timeline template that proved invaluable in winning a court case because the timeline was clear, logical and detailed with all the supporting documentation.

I have collected requirements from different international frameworks in a mindmap and then tagged the requirements with different categories. Then I can filter and visualize requirements applicable to different scenarios. The tailored requirements have saved a lot of time in the organization.

  • MM helps you structure your information on the spot. You then can easily restructure it afterwards.
  • MM is a great support in writing. In stead of starting to write, you start entering single words in a mindmap. Every day you work further on your mindmap. Only when you are completely happy with it, you start converting the leaves to sentences, the sentences to paragraphs, etc.
  • With the right macro's you can completely invert a mindmap within seconds.

MIndManager helped me to go from idea to project including the relevant documentation. I was able to present ideas with their respective details and it helped to loosen up minds to see more than they thought they could.
In a real estate development projct we could identify all the stakeholders and assign responsibilities in an organigram. This same mindmap was used to setup action plans and project plans and could be used to monitor the whole project.

I always use MindManager to break out project WBS to a visually clear vision. I use the relationship links for inter dependencies, I then tend to export to MS Project to add resources, durations and dates

This common tool has allowed us to plan, manage, track, and present many complex initiatives.

While in HR, I set up Org Charts to enable me to manage each group appropriately. If you are a visual learner (and not everyone is), that is great for reviewing operations and planning any changes.

I have mind-mapped for years. I won't give any examples except to say I apply it to any project or idea that I need to break down into smaller pieces so that I can visually organize those pieces, see their relationships, and either present the map directly to a client or use myself for the creation of content, whether for myself or a client. I know this is meant as a business product, but I use it even more often for personal projects.

As am example - a large steel multicomponent product - Take the CAD model and generate a Bill of Material in excel format within SOLIDWORKS. Pull that data into MM and then organize as purchased part; flat steel then needs to be cut - laser/plasma/saw; is it then bent? or drilled? or primed?

Each one of these answers is in the form of a TAG, a tag that can be filtered, e.g., filter all 4mm steel plate - MM topic shows dimensions, weight, small 2D drawings including where it belongs in its subassembly. This then gets transmitted via HTML file to design engineers / procurement / other

MindManager's mind maps have helped me by:-
  1. Providing a clear understanding of complex information.
  2. Focus on key ideas and points during a presentation, enhancing my communication and delivery.
  3. Note taking during meetings, within the context of the dot point we are discussing.
  4. Overall improvement in the way I think and communicate.
For example:
  1. I can setup an intial project charter in Mind Manager to enable me to communicate the end to end engagement for project kick offs.
  2. Outlining meeting agendas and capturing notes for better discussions. I find the mind map keeps everyone focused with a "visual gaurdrail" that I can use to collapse or expand as neccessary, to guide everyone through the conversation.
  3. After a meeting, I can export the mind map to HTML, which compiles everything in a HTML page you can open up in any browser that supports HTML 5 - before sending to participants for their record.
  4. When I have mapped out the process or issue in Mind Manager, I've noticed that I don't need to be in front of MM to accurately recall the details. This allows me to effectively communicate the issue at hand without relying on the software.

If you start to plan and strucutre your ideas and information - you can easily rearrange, copy, or adding links.
To modify a org chart is as easy as by drag and drop.
Changing the visual style is done by mouseclick.
Saving a lot of time!

I've been using MindManager for a while now and I am incredibly impressed with the results. It has helped me organize my thoughts and tasks in an efficient manner. With MindManager, I can easily visualize large amounts of data to quickly understand what needs to be done and when. It has made me exponentially more productive and organized in my work life.

I was working on a project that involved an external company that provided a 3D visualization platform that we used to show our customers what our equipment looks like in 3D. I used mind manager to explain to the external company the way we work and execute projects, and at which stages of project execution, we could use their tool.
