Project Management & Mind Mapping

For the past couple of years I have been following the mind mapping space and have watched it to evolve from a brainstorming tool to one that is becoming more closely aligned in the area of project planning and management. Over the years most of the mind mapping applications have either included project planning as an integral part of the application or have relied on third party developers to develop add-ins to the mind mapping software to bring project management features and functionality. Additionally, there are a number of software developers like AEC FastTrack 9 and Experience in Software-Project KickStart 5 who have made it very easy to move tasks and resources from mind mapping software to their standalone applications. I was interested in learning how you are using your mind mapping software for project planning and management and have put together this short poll. My colleague Wallace Tait and I are in the process of lining up some potential interviews for our podcasts and thought that your feedback would be helpful.

New Products added to Online Store

For the past year I have been thinking about trying to offer some of the unique products related to information management that I you could find under one roof. Considering how busy we all are, I thought it would be great to have a place where you can shop for some unique software applications that work with the information management tools that we all use. So with the start of the New Year I have set up an online store where you can window shop and if you like place orders for the various software applications. I have just gotten started and so far am offering Context Organizer, theRealizer2 , and Project KickStart 5. You will find that all of these programs are rather unique and complement tools like MindManager. I am continuing to flesh out my store and will be offering some other tools in the near future so if you have the chance check out the store and let me know what you think.
