Is mind mapping a superpower for you?

Twenty years ago, an instructor impressed his class by using MindManager. I was fortunate to be there. Today, mind mapping is one of my superpowers. It is my favorite tool to learn by organizing notes, to go deeper and explore an idea, to create and present strategic plans, and to visually manage an innovation project. MindManager also captivates my audience when I use it to prepare and present a conference, class, or seminar. A well-designed mind map allows me to present complex concepts in a different and straightforward way. It is possible to insert icons, pictures, and URL links, among other elements. One of the key improvements that I have seen is the following. Ten years ago, I used to share mind maps with my audience in multi-page PDF files; it was an ordeal to prepare them. Nowadays, it is much easier to share them as HTML files that my audience can interact with using a Web browser. I look forward to using MindManager for many years to come.
  • Allows me to learn by organizing notes.
  • Enables me to create and present strategic plans.
  • Empowers me to present complex concepts in a different and straightforward way.
  • Captivates my audience when I prepare and present a conference, a class, or a seminar in MindManager.
  • Allows me to share mind maps in a variety of formats like JPG, PDF, and HTML.
Cons
  • I would love to see a free —downloadable, or cloud-based— smaller, limited MindManager version.
  • I would like to see a free way to export old native MMAP files into current HTML files. Or new native MMAP files into old native MMAP files.
  • I wish Alludo would establish an affordable way to upgrade an old MindManager license into the current version.
  • I would like to see Alludo offering a program with free trial licenses for teachers and students using MindManager as an aid in their learning process.
MindManager is great to learn by organizing notes, to go deeper when exploring ideas, to study the structure of a new law or regulation, to create and present strategic plans, to design a new course, and to visually manage an innovation project. It captivates my audience when I use it to prepare and present a conference, class, or seminar. However, I would not use it again as a text editor, Web page designer, or PowerPoint slide planner.

I use MindManager for brainstorming, project management and generally for visualizing all kinds of issues. With MindManager, for example, technical connections can be displayed wonderfully. I also use MindManager to create flowcharts or visualize processes with swimlanes. My last project was the creation and clear presentation of a technology competency matrix
  • flow charts
  • all tasks of project management
  • collecting ideas on a whiteboard
  • easy to create swimlanes
Cons
  • it would be helpfull to show sizes like DINA0, DINA1,...in the background
  • Scaling and formatting objects is cumbersome
  • The ability to insert watermarks would be helpful
There are many useful templates such as business model canvas, SWOT analysis, flowcharts or organizational charts that provide a good starting point and can then be easily adapted to your own requirements

If I had to have only one tool, this would be it.

  • Enrobage de sujets
Cons

I've been using MindManager for about 20 years for a variety of purposes:Project management, event organization, brainstorming, preparing decision-making documents, test organization, and much more.The program is a great help in collecting keywords, ideas, and/or tasks and structuring them neatly. I've had the opportunity to try out other mind mapping programs (both freeware and licensed), but none compares to MindManager in terms of functionality and ease of use.I wouldn't want to be without this tool anymore and can highly recommend it to anyone interested!

Ich nutze den MindManager bereits seit ca. 20 Jahren und das für die verschiedensten Zwecke: Projektmanagement, Eventorganisation, Brainstorming, Vorbereitung von Entscheidungsvorlagen, Testorgansisation u. v. m. Das Programm hilft mir vorbildlich dabei, z. B. Stichworte, Ideen und/oder Aufgaben zu sammeln und sauber zu strukturieren. Ich hatte bereits Gelegenheit, auch andere Mindmapping-Programme (Freeware, aber auch lizenzpflichtige Programme) auszuprobieren, doch beim Funktionsumfang und der unkomplizierten Nutzbarkeit kommt keines an den MindManager heran. Ich möchte das Tool nicht mehr missen und kann es allen Interessierten nur wärmstens empfehlen!
  • Brainstorming
  • Project management
  • Organization of events
  • Structuring tasks
  • Projektmanagement
  • Organisation von Events
  • Aufgaben strukturieren
Ideal for project management and event organization, but also for collecting ideas

Bestens geeignet für Projektmanagement und die Organisation von Events, aber eben auch zur Ideensammlung

  • Collect ideas
  • Clarify the underlying processes
  • Present and exchange
Cons
  • For our purposes, the direct integration of videos would be helpful.
From our point of view, there are no areas for which the programme would not be suitable.
