Overall Satisfaction with MindManager
I use MindManager to capture and organise ideas: it enables me to set these out in a logical structure, and the visual representation is helpful in giving an overview perspective. The ability to export maps in formats that can be shared with others - and 'walked-through' as presentations - is very useful (e.g. summarising workshop outputs).
The functionality of MindManager has developed significantly over the past 2-3 years (the 'training webinar' programme is helpful in introducing these). There are opportunities to continue to develop the application further (e.g. more intuitive, Help function) for a simpler user experience, and this might require more of a step-development than steady improvement - but this is a possible direction for the future rather than a limitation of the current version.

- Strategic Planning
- Brainstorming
- Process Mapping
- Enables clear, logically-structured visual articulation of ideas, with easy re-sorting of the structured visualisation
- Tags and flags are useful in categorising and filtering information
- Task management is good, e.g. linking (and synching) tasks with Outlook, Gantt charts, progress reports), so MindManager is useful in organising and implementing non-complex projects
- More intuitive menus / functions
- Better Help function (more fully integrated within the application)
