Overall Satisfaction with MindManager

I use MindManager daily to capture ideas, organize them into structured content and convert that "map" to documents to deliver to our clients

Pros

  • organize ideas
  • export structure to documents
  • convey structures of ideas for others to discuss

Cons

  • export to power point on Mac
  • export to Excel on Mac
  • Saves time
  • Keeps ideas organized
  • Build content for presentations and classes
  • Strategic Planning
  • Brainstorming
  • Process Mapping
  • Education & Training
  • Knowledge Management
  • Task and Project Management
  • Project Planning
We're writing a Risk Management book and were using another "mapping" tool. We switched to MindManager so the content of the maps can be exported in outline form for writing the chapter content. MM allows us to collect all the references with URL, add pictures, build detailed outlines and export all the wit MSFT Word
