Overall Satisfaction with MindManager

I use MindManager to structure my ideas when dealing with complex problems. It allows to move ideas and concepts around, create a better story. It is very fast and intuitive.

Pros

  • Keep all information in the same document
  • Prioritize ideas
  • Inserts usefull graph, Excel, photos

Cons

  • Provide an output that can be shared with non user. The HTML creation is good but not all interlocutors grasp it.
  • Convert a map into a presentation (like Powerpoint) creates slides that are difficult to organize.
  • In general, the input is easy, the problem is to share output in a conventional way with others.
  • It would be nice to provide Word and PowerPoint templates that convert the input into nicer documents
  • Allow thinkers to produce logic bullet points
  • Create relationships between unrelated subjects or factors
  • Documents storage at the right place
  • Strategic Planning
  • Brainstorming
  • Education & Training
  • Knowledge Management
  • Problem Solving
  • Task and Project Management
In project management, there are several unrelated aspects that needs to be considered, you can lay down the big picture and then focus and work on individual branches.
By doing that, you can find flaws in your reasoning or actions that need to be properly sequenced, even if they belong to other branches of your tree.
When inserting pictures and sketches, it brings more clarity to presentation
Word in Outline view creates outlines but it is not possible to add pictures nor keep it in a coherent tree presentation.
Powerpoint are individual slides where the audience see only the current slides without looking at its relation with all other topics. When deploying a MindMap, you disclose how you found that path and the user see the tree.
