CS Odessa has released ConceptDraw MindMap for Projects
(http://www.conceptdraw.com/pg?id=news_april09_press-mmprj), an
US$299 mind map solution for creative project management. This
special edition of the CS Odessa ConceptDraw MindMap is a mind
mapping tool that addresses the needs of those who require an
enhanced project management focus, according to the folks at CS
Odessa.
ConceptDraw MindMap for Projects utilizes InGyre Technology,
developed by CS Odessa that enables users to work on project
planning, team work coordination and communication within a single
information set. This new edition of MindMap promotes an alternative
way to kick-off projects, beginning with brainstorming project ideas,
using whiteboard views, and organizing results into highly
informative mind maps.
During the next phase, information is then transformed into detailed
project plans with Gantt charts. Managers can balance and allocate
resource loads using the Resource Usage view, or assign and send task
lists to team participants in the form of mind maps.
