Mind Manager allows you to plan, organise and present tasks in a single application

Mind mapping is a powerful creativity and production tool using visual methods that can be particularly useful for students and adults who have dyslexia. Mind Manager supports this learning technique while also providing a powerful project management, presentation and organisation package for home, education and business users.

Mind Manager is a comprehensive tool that encourages efficient and accurate management of objectives by clearly identifying resources using visual cues. It simplifies brainstorming sessions, note taking, planning and the complexity of tasks and projects. Text, notes, images and hyperlinks can be easily created, managed and added to the mind map. The multi-map function enables mind maps to be split into manageable sizes to assist prioritisation, focus and communication.

What's new in MindManager version 9?

• Power Performance: MindManager now opens faster, loads your large maps faster and uses dramatically fewer system resources.
• Project Gantt Chart & Resource Planning: Develop accurate project plans. Brainstorm and define your project tasks, assign resources, dependencies, duration and dates. The synchronized project timeline is displayed alongside your map where you can make updates in either your map or project timeline. Resource planning updates help ensure that you optimize your use of critical resources to get the project done on time and within budget.
• Slide Presentations: In addition to MindManager's presentation mode, there's a new way to present your work with the slide view. Pick and choose topics to present, adjust their order and control exactly how you want each branch to appear.
• Dynamic Outlook Dashboards: See related Outlook items, emails, contacts, notes, tasks or meetings, in the context of your map, without having to switch applications. Add dynamic Outlook branches with pre-defined queries or build your own. With a click, update status, review the content or open the original record.
• WYSIWYG Printing: Now printing out your maps is easier than ever. Each slide that you create can also be printed, so you can print out exactly what you need printed.
• Image & Icon Library: Enhance the visual impact of your maps with new professionally designed images and icons that add context, increase impact and improve retention.
• Enhanced Interface & Usability Improvements: MindManager integrates with Office 2010 and adopts many Office 2010 interface best practices to make it easy for Office users to learn and use MindManager. The updated menu (ribbon) interface simplifies access to most frequently used commands. There's also a new file menu (called backstage) to provide easy access to document commands like print, export, share and more...
