There is a link to a comparison PDF at the bottom of the page. You can see my page about MindManager Lite 7 here. Like Jim l am a long term addict of MindManager. (I'm using Cedric's excellent Outlook implementation for that). So far it's a fun toy, and is helpful for organizing my thoughts, but I haven't really gotten into the project mgmt / task mgmt features. does anybody have any info/insight on the differences betw the 'lite' vers and the full vers? I'm about halfway thru my trial period for MM. I feel that having just half your MM trial might not be enough time for you to fully grasp the RM/MM system (they have a 28 trial) but even if you decide to not go that way the "Funnel Timeline' approach to project planning will still be useful with MM Lite or any other Mind Mapping software (or even hand-drawn). The 'GPS' one is a short 5 minute overview while the 'Mindjet Webinar - Visualising Outcomes' is an hour long but well worth it (IMO). I have added another two links below to the MMPro/Lite comparison chart, and to a couple of Results Manager videos. I find that the RM/MM approach lets me quickly add a lot more metadata to projects and actions that can be filtered and manipulated a number of ways to give me the information I need in the format appropriate at the time. The RM/MM solution lets me map out my projects in a visual form (which fits my creative side) and the RM dashboards filter out the 'Next Actions' from all my projects into dynamic 'context lists' (or any other desire form).Ĭheck out Nick Duffil's (Gyronix CEO) funnel timeline approach to Project mapping at and this article for a variation to suit events (I solved this yesterday - except for the Outlook synchronisation.) I had previously used the RM/MM system for 2 years but was unable to get it to function in my new companies Thin Client environment. I have used Cedric's outlook system for 3 months and find the RM/MM solution more effective.ĭata (for the C side): I have up until yesterday used (a very similar approach to) Cedric's Outlook system for my PM and GTD system. I currently use V7 Pro because I use the Gyronix ResultsManager add-on as my project management and GTD system (RM needs MMPro because of the additional tag functionality). Hi Ron - always ready to help a fellow 'creative'.īLUF (for the D side): I live in MindManager and have been a user since 2000. If you've written research papers where you carried index cards around, Scrivener will feel very familiar. My secret identity used to use it to organize fiction writing, but I've switched to using Scrivener ( )įor all of my fiction writing and some technical writing that requires a lot of research. (I write the feedback separately, off a paper copy of the map.) I also use it to organize performance appraisals, to make sure I have inputs from all the right people, have appropriately-balanced comments, have covered all the goals, and have a reasonable organization for the feedback. Here's an image of a snip of one of those meetings: I also use it to organize requirements hierarchies, for developing fault trees and doing root cause analysis (easier than fishbones for me to get my head around). I use it for all my meeting note-taking (except one-on-ones, where I use paper). FreeMind is written in Java, and is an Open Source application. I've used FreeMind( ) for several years now.
