Overall Satisfaction with MindManager

I use Mind Mapping for any project where serialized analysis doesn't work. Most of my projects have non-linear and multi-dependency requirements.

Pros

  • Visualization: No better way to get info shared than graphically!
  • Relationship Mapping: It's so simple to show how elements are inter-related.
  • Prioritization: The tool makes assigning task ordering and priorities super-simple.
  • Resource Allocation: Literally a right-click and resources are assigned.

Cons

  • Eliminate the pop-up ads.
  • Integrate with SharePoint.
  • Make sharing easier, via common cloud drives.
  • Improves thought processes and critical thinking.
  • Makes conveyance of technical projects easier.
  • Has a general inference of added professionalism for any deliverable.
  • Brainstorming
  • Process Mapping
  • Education & Training
  • Meeting Management
  • Problem Solving
  • Task and Project Management
I use it primarily for mapping ISO standards. It helps me visualize the relationships between portions of the standards, which is helpful when I audit.

Yes

Did implementation of MindManager go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy MindManager again?

I don't know of many situations where mind mapping isn't fruitful. Maybe the more right-brained folks can live purely under Word docs and spreadsheets, but I surely can't.
