Overall Satisfaction with MindManager
Mainly using it to design and validate business and IT processes with the client-base. Additionally, using the MindManager to draft organization charts to be used in presentations with proposed organization realignments, creating new departments as well as consolidating/finding synergies for our clients. To some degree, also using MindManager to create timelines for project and non-project based activities. Starting to look into other functionalities such as Work Sessions and Brainstorming.
- Strategic Planning
- Process Mapping
- Problem Solving
- Task and Project Management
- Project Planning
- I like the look and feel of the graphics provided by MindManager, especially compared to Visio.
- The list of templates provides a very good set of accelerators to get a user started quickly.
- Easy to use, intuitive user interface, without unnecessary gadgets and frills
- Integration with MS Office products other than Word would help.
- Ability to export process flows to Visio format, since many corporations use MS products and I would like to avoid having to recreate process flows.
- More icons would be also beneficial.
- An online library where a user can search for images, icons, etc. would also help.

- So far the biggest impact was around time savings due to all the neat features and accelerators
- Depending on the next projects, I can foresee other opportunities such as event planning and other benefits.
I used MindManager to create several process flows, workflows, organization charts, and project management charts. I find it best to start with a predefined template that MindManager provides out of the box, and enrich/modify to suit my needs. The tool is easy to use, straight forward UI, and for the most part, it provides what I need to get my job done.
