Mind maps are a great way to store, organize your ideas. With many commercial tools scattered around in the Web, I gave FreeMind a try and it satisfied most of the basic needs in Mind Mapping. Mind Mapping software come with a multitude of features and one of the important feature that I love is the Calender. They give you the ability to attach dates and reminders to any node in the Mind map tree. I have stumbled upon on a few web based Mind mapping tools and seeking a way to attach Project Management features/tools that would help many folks out there.
Tony Buzan developed Mind Maps with the following key features in mind:
Key features are:
- Organization
- Key Words
- Association
- Clustering
- Visual Memory - Print the key words, use color, symbols, icons, 3D-effects,arrows and outlining groups of words
- Outstandingness - every Mind Map needs a unique center
- Conscious involvement
