Mindjet for Project Managers

How many times have you run a project where team members failed to deliver or left a meeting unclear about next steps? Using Mindjet, you can communicate the project’s objectives to the team in a way that everyone can “get” both intellectually and visually, and update the plan quickly and easily.

• Build detailed project plans collaboratively.
• Define roles and show how each individual’s contribution relates to the project’s objectives.
• Add attachments, notes, comments, images and any other details to clarify the plans and current status.
• Switch from map view to a fully synchronized Gantt chart using JCVGantt.

In the confusion of a million project details, it’s easy to overspend. Using JCVGantt, a powerful add-on to the MindManager software, you can track the fixed, variable, and bottom-line cost of your projects at all times. Make hypothetical changes and immediately see how each change impacts the budget and timeline. Now you can easily factor in costs when making every decision.

No need to copy and paste your Mindjet information into a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation for sharing. Just switch into MindManager’s presentation mode. Adapt the flow of the presentation to your audience, and capture comments directly into the presentation map (rather than transcribing your scribbles later).

• Export plans to PowerPoint, Word, and Project, Edit Microsoft files without ever leaving your map.
• Share your project status with any stakeholder by publishing and distributing interactive PDFs.
• Publish interactive maps to intranet and internet Web sites.

Mindjet Connect frees project managers from being the administrative bottleneck, empowering teams to directly update their status in real time, share project files in online workspaces, and host online meetings.

• Give all team members access to project dashboards, where they can update their status.
• Share and distribute deliverables in online workspaces.
• Host online meetings with onsite and offsite team members for requirements gathering, brainstorming, planning, steering committee, and ongoing status updates.

Project managers need to be both creative and highly organized—two qualities that are rarely found together in equal amounts. The cool thing about Mindjet software is that it lets both sides of your brain play nicely. Project Managers from every industry are using Mindjet software every day to enhance their creativity and stay organized. Here’s what some of them are saying about their Mindjet experiences.
