It’s time to push the boundaries.

It’s time to get creative, and let our thoughts wander into the possibilities.

In Part 1, we covered the bugs in MindManager.

Part 2 suggested several usability improvements.

This article is dedicated to thinking beyond the next version of MindManager.

My purpose here, again, is to contribute to your team. I want to share my vision for MindManager, which I use daily for my own needs and those of my clients through visual facilitation. I have gained a fair amount of experience with your software over the years, and it’s my way of giving back.

Take what is useful, and discard the rest. I have no expectations whatsoever, other than perhaps initiating a conversation within your company as to what will go into the next versions of MindManager.

Let’s get started with the small changes, keeping the bigger ideas for the end.

Hello to the Mindjet team, and to fellow MindManager aficionados!

MindManager is a great tool, with a lot of potential and some shortcomings.

At Fluent Brain, I work as a full-time professional visual facilitator. I chose to work with MindManager since version 7, and I’ve been using every version since.

I decided to contribute to you, the Mindjet team…

• my experience with MindManager
• my visual facilitation expertise
• my vision for a better software

… so that you are able to create a better tool. Your users (may they be amateur or professional mind mappers), will benefit from a higher-quality product that better satisfies their needs and allows for more efficient information management. As a consequence, satisfaction will go up and you will make more sales.
