- You don't have a step-by-step process for capturing and refining your ideas using mind maps.

Thorough, balanced & informative"A very thorough review (of mind mapping software), well laid out, informative and practical. It provides a balanced perspective - it referred to various types of software without specifically promoting one. I also liked the fact that it was not full of all the hype and pseudoscience that often characterizes many mind map publications." – Dr. Wendy Pryor, University of New South Wales |

A great resource for project managers"Chuck does a great job of concisely presenting how to take advantage of mind-mapping outside of the usual brainstorming and organizing information. One of the best uses of mind maps I've seen on projects is for building a shared context for the project team, client, and constituents. A mind map is also a great way to capture and convey complicated information. Chuck covers all of that in his book. Give it a try!" – Hal Macomber, Reforming Project Management Weblog |
