Overall Satisfaction with MindManager
I, as project manager use MindManager to capture the initial high level scope of a new project, demonstrate the high level use case and design of proposed solution.
- Brainstorming
- Process Mapping
- Problem Solving
- Task and Project Management
- Provides a great visual to full team including stakeholders of the high level look and feel of solution.
- Expansion and contraction of stories are simple to follow.
- Connecting arrows help see interaction between actors in a project.
- More Agile development friendly, example quick way to set project management streams for Backlog, in Progress, Done or Blocking.
- More variation in template options.
- Good for conceptual views but could improve on implementation options of project planning.
I’m not sure
- Enable stakeholders to visualize the project use cases.
- Quickly identify any areas that needed prioritizing in project.
- Good reference doc to return to during project development.
I have used MindManager to develop Use case stories and also for high level design and process flow diagrams. Great for keeping notes and linking relevant attachments such as webs pages to user story bullet points. Acting as an initial point of reference for all stakeholders and project team members.
Jira for Agile project management, more dedicated to Agile development than Mindmap. Microsoft Teams for managing communications and documents.
