What does this software do? |
|
| |
|
|
MindManager creates mind maps that help you manage information, communicate ideas and become more organised.
MindManager is the leading visual mapping software, and for very good reason! MindManager is simply unmatched in depth of functionality.
Traditionally mind maps have been utilised by strategic planners, educators, business leaders and project managers to efficiently plan tasks and communicate complex ideas to others.
It has often been said that 'a picture is worth 1000 words', mind mapping taps into the natural human tendency to associate simple visual stimulus with complex information.
For a majority of people, simple visual reminders can help them remember huge quantities of information. Examples of this are all around us. It may be a certain taste, smell or song that unlocks vastly complex memories of the past.
This is the essence of the mind mapping principle, and when harnessed with MindManager 8 you will be absolutely amazed of the benefits. |

What are the key features? |

|
|
 |
|
|
| |
A MindManager Map is a visual diagram that helps explain information in a unique way, by utilising powerful visual indicators to communicate information in a format that is more quickly understood than traditional linear formats.

Mapping allows you to present complex information visually in a way that is more likely to be understood quickly by the target audience, regardless of if that is you... or your team. |

Keep all relevant and supporting information easily accessible and organized with MindManager 8. Include any Microsoft® Word, Excel, PowerPoint file, or any PDF file or web page with a topic, including documents from SharePoint™ or Google™ Docs.

Mapping naturally taps into the creative genius inside of all of us. Instead of having to force everyone's ideas into neat, tidy boxes, I use MindManager to capture the best thinking of our large, multinational teams. That is an amazing business advantage."
Debby McIsaac, Global People Development Manager |
| |
WebEx Communications, Inc.
We used to drop our project plans into either spreadsheets or text documents to get all our task lists organized—and then put it all into project management software. It was pretty hard moving things around, though, as project conditions changed. But with MindManager, I have the flexibility of being able to move things around and label things quickly. That’s what I really love about it."
Brian Meyer, Project Manager |

Aon Asia
MindManager has saved our internal customers a lot of time previously spent plowing through big documents to figure out where to begin (projects). It has also saved our department a lot of time trying to communicate our ideas with business units and other internal IT customers. Finally, it has reduced the amount of time needed to implement the project because it helps facilitate communication."
Glen Francis, eBusiness Regional Manager |

Radioshack Corporation
MindManager gives me the ability to capture everything I want to do, then to organize it, prioritise it in one visual place, and share it with everyone,” says Philip Godden, RadioShack's Senior Director of Distribution Project Management. “In one map I can show our five most important objectives, the five aspects that support each of those five objectives, and then tie all the objectives together into one clear overall plan."
Philip Godden, Senior Director of Distribution Project Management |

Fortune 500 Energy Company
What I deliver is IT capability. The quality of what I am able to deliver to my IT 'customers' has gone up with Mindjet MindManager. I can spend more time on IT projects, and less on administrative tasks like transcribing meeting notes, managing project details, and creating reports to send to my supervisors."
Timothy Bolwerk, IT Project Manager |

Professor Jerry Kang, UCLA
If you can’t capture the interactivity of the classroom you are encouraging a passive form of teaching. MindManager, on the other hand, has allowed me to integrate student responses and ideas right onto the screen– and at the same time manage the big picture and the small details."
Jerry Kang, Professor UCLA School of Law |

Oregon Health and Science University
Too often in education, we ask students to memorize facts –without helping them understand the relationships between the facts. By putting the information into a single MindManager map, they start seeing the big picture."
