MindManager product description:

MindManager is the ideal mind mapping tool for increased productivity. Whether you're creating a business plan or developing a new website, the versatile mind maps provide the functionality you need to plan and execute your projects. Use your potential even better with MindManager.

With MindManager, you can:

• Increase your individual productivity. Structure your ideas in a single view. This allows you to see connections and draw conclusions in no time at all.
• Ensure the success of your project. Visualize individual aspects of your project plan. Keep the overview and show every detail in its context.
• Accelerate decision making processes. Visual analysis allows you to see immediately how changes affect budgets, forecasts and business plans.

Visual working environment

To see is to understand. Mind Maps are virtual whiteboards for your best ideas and ideal for innovative thinking. Capture, structure and prioritize your ideas simply with drag-and-drop. Add more detailed information in the form of images, hyperlinks, attachments and notes.

Project planning tools

Put your ideas into practice. Set priorities, resources, schedules, and dependencies in maps to assess your planning and identify requirements. Review schedules in the Map or Gantt Chart view to refine scheduling and get approval from all stakeholders.

Financial and analytical tools

Let the numbers talk. Automated calculations ensure clear decisions on budgets, forecasts and portfolio reconciliation. By adding numbers and formulas to MindManager branches, you can see the results of what-if scenarios immediately. Evaluate strategic recommendations with 2x2 analysis views, including SWOT templates and risk versus reward matrices. You can even create multiple analysis views in a single map.

Works with your current tools

Save your time. Organize your work in MindManager and then export the data to your everyday tools. MindManager is compatible with most popular Microsoft Office and Apple productivity applications, including Outlook and Entourage. For more information, see MindManager for Windows and MindManager for Mac.

New version for Windows

MindManager includes MindManager 14 for Windows. With new features such as enhanced calculation formulas and the optimized map index, MindManager is more flexible and powerful than ever.

New Features

MindManager for Windows has long been the solution of choice for brainstorming, structuring information and planning projects. Now, Mindjet MindManager 14 for Windows makes it even easier to add content, work with rich maps, and develop presentations and detailed strategic plans. We've also greatly enhanced the quantitative analysis capabilities so you can create and calculate detailed budgets, make forecasts, and analyze portfolios, among many other tasks.

Intelligent budget and forecast creation

With MindManager for Windows, you can now define formulas and apply them to branches throughout the map, so you can immediately see how changes will affect numbers. Unlike popular spreadsheet programs, Mindjet makes it easy to drag and drop content or apply filters to quickly perform visual what-if analyses. The new Smart Fill feature allows you to specify the color of a branch property using a numeric value. This makes it easier to identify opportunities and problems, such as when the budget is overspent or further investment is needed.

With the new formula function, calculated branch properties reach a new dimension. From now on, even complex formulas with several functions and operators are supported. You can easily edit and present data and define multiple calculated branch properties for any branch in the map.

Efficient project planning

With simplified task creation, project plans can be developed in no time at all. Add task details, edit due dates and update the status of work directly in the map.

Use map and Gantt views to review priorities, schedules and resources. Then complete projects directly with Microsoft Project in Microsoft SharePoint (using MindManager Server) or Mindjet ProjectDirector.

Simplified map creation

Drag and drop important content from the desktop or any file system (such as Mindjet files) into your maps. Now you can also drag and drop email, tasks, and contacts directly from Microsoft Outlook to project plans or organizational charts.

Faster navigation in complex maps

With the map index you can find everything you need, sorted by markers, hyperlinks, attachments, notes, etc. Do you need to display a list of all attachments at short notice or do you need to check all formulas that contain key indicators of your project? The index allows you to easily navigate through all important contents to check them.

Improved decision making

With 2x2 analysis views and method-supported brainstorming, you can shorten the decision-making process in the company. Use brainstorming to develop creative solutions to a complex problem. Evaluate the proposed solutions in a "risk versus reward" matrix and select the best variants.

New presentation tools with improved zoom and pan functions during the presentation make it easier to tailor the information to the respective target group and thus clearly define the strategic goals.

Compatible with all common tools

Import data from Microsoft Word and Project Export data to Word, Project, PowerPoint, SWF, PDF, as images or web pages. MindManager for Windows can also integrate with Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft SharePoint (but only in conjunction with MindManager Server, formerly Mindjet On-Premise).
