Overall Satisfaction with MindManager

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use MindManager for various activities but mainly in business meetings to take note of results and action plans with the different people responsible for said plans, in specific projects to define particular activities as well as the person responsible for the activity with commitment dates and to define flow charts in the area's procedures.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Projects
Flowcharts.
Meeting minutes.

Cons

In the blank templates there is no option to use left map.
In "Meetings and Collaboration," it does not allow you to export the Gantt table to Excel, or at least I have not found how to do it.
It does not allow setting the actual date of completion of the activity defined in the assigned tasks so that we are aware of the delay that occurred between what was planned and what was executed.

Return on Investment

Objective information on results.
Analysis of specific tasks and people involved in these tasks.
Setting strategies with clear objectives and monitoring those objectives.

Information Visualization Benefits

The benefit has actually been more significant in how it was done before than in how it is done now. MindManager has helped to observe the information from other points of view and follow up on those different points of view or ideas that arise in creating the project or definition of activities.

Likelihood to Recommend

Mainly in the planning and projection scenarios where the tools that MindManager has helped a lot; it allows to assign tasks, those responsible, dates, and costs; it also allows to review of the Gantt chart for follow-up. In the meeting minutes, I have not been able to find a way to follow up; that is, there is an activity in the file of one week's meeting, but in the following week's meeting, you have to have several files open if you want. Review and follow up on pending items from previous weeks.
