I’d like to know more about how YOU are using mind mapping software for project management:

• What types of projects do you use it for?
• Is there a particular size of project that seems to be its “sweet spot?” What size of project is it not robust enough to handle or for which it’s overkill?
• HOW do you map out a project? What process do you follow? Do you create milestones in your maps? Do you create work breakdown structures (WBS)? Do you transfer your completed scope of work to Microsoft Project or other project management tools?
• Most importantly, what are the strengths and weaknesses of the mind mapping program you use for scoping and managing projects? Where could these programs be improved?

I look forward to your thoughts – please post them in the comments area below. Thanks!

In addition, the Pro and Platinum editions of NovaMind can now import MindManager files. This may be especially useful for recent converts to NovaMind who have a lot of old MindManager files that they still want to access. The Mac version of NovMind has had this capability for several years, but the developer reports that this new Windows version is much improved, and eventually will also be ported over to the Mac version.
