Last year I suggested mind mapping could be a useful alternative to traditional project planning tools in Tired of MS Project? Try Mind Mapping. Chuck Frey has a new ebook to get you started: Power Tips & Strategies for Mind Mapping Software. The book covers numerous project uses of mind-mapping including: managing task lists, planning a project, managing a meeting, and organizing complex information. Chuck also offers tips for taking advantage of what mind-mapping software has to offer.
I've been mind mapping for more than 20 years. I learned from a Tony Buzan memory technique program. Chuck does a great job of concisely presenting how to take advantage of mind-mapping outside of the usual brainstorming and organizing information. One of the best uses of mind maps I've seen on projects is for building a shared context for the project team, client, and constituents. A mind map is also a great way to capture and convey complicated information. Chuck covers all of that in his book. Give it a try! Also check out Chuck's article How to Use Mind Mapping Software for Project Management for an introduction. Or, try this Mind Map software.
