He is a mind mine of information on this subject. Like David I have been using Mind Mapping & MindManager since 1995. For my first five years of MindManager, I was using it covertly (it was not company approved software) and overtly as a project manager in two businesses. It enabled me to keep an overview of my projects and quickly get to the detail through dashboards I constructed that linked to all the documentation. Woe betide anyone who moved or renamed a file! You will find a summary of how I use MindManager in Projects here. http://www.cabre.co.uk/information/projectmanagement.html in the PDF. The new range of mind mapping software Mindomo, MindMeister etc. on the web is going to revolutionise vitrual project management. Best regards, Andrew Wilcox Hal, well done for highlighting Chuck’s work. He is a mind mine of information on this subject.

I think I came to it around 1990. I have used it for recall in exam situations by memorising mindmaps on subject areas and then in the exam redraw them all and use as a aide to answering questions. I have used them extensively in Project Management for capturing all the products my project will have to create porting them into MS Project (I use Mindmanager). Using software I have scribed at facilitated JAD sessions capturing requirements, notes, and links. I recommend mindmapping to anyone! One other use I have had from it, was to assist my dsylexic daughter in note taking for revision etc. She finds it much easier to visualise than read. This year she started her first year in University studying for a Bsc. Like you Hal I have been using Mindmapping for sometime. I think I came to it around 1990.
