Once upon a time English classes taught students to make outlines to come up with ideas and to brainstorm. Or they used a technique of free writing. Today’s student and professional creates a mind map. Mind mapping can be done on paper but with technology right at your fingertips you can use your computer to brainstorm ideas and see the visual process of coming to an answer or solution. One of the best selling software programs on the market today is Mindjet MindManager 8. This software may forever do away with the pencil paper routine of mind mapping.

Mindjet is the software developers responsible for Mindjet MindManager 8. It is a Windows based program so you should be immediately familiar with many of the icons and commands that are within the program. The process the software uses is based on the information that you put into it. It is a way to create a type of visual canvas that lets you see all possibilities and roads to conclusion. This is incredibly useful because it allows the mind to “free think” and you see the results in a tree like diagram on the screen.

Some of the greatest features of Mindjet 8 is the ability to transform your mind map into an Adobe Acrobat page or even publish it to a webpage. Many other programs are strictly limited to operations within the program. Another bonus is that the designers took into consideration that people of all ages would use the program. Many other mind mapping software programs are geared more towards juvenile users with pictures and games to help them through the creative process. With its automated task management, Mindjet Player and Database Linker, Mindjet 8 is definitely something that professionals could use on a daily basis to help them find the information they need for a project and then help them arrive at solutions. But the question to ask is whether or not it is too hard to use.

There are mixed reviews regarding this program. On the website www.amazon.com there is only 2 user reviews though and both are very different from the other. One user found that they really like the program because it was easy to use and easy to understand. The other user, however, found that the data would not stay in place and that even putting the data in was confusing. It may have been user error or simply not understanding the program’s tools. At the price of 9.00 it is expensive but it does have capabilities that definitely put it ahead of other mind mapping software programs on the market so Mindjet MindManager 8 may be what you need.
