What they say:  " Mind2Chart will turn discussion topics into tasks for plans with just a couple of clicks. This add-in will display them in the most popular way of graphical representation of projects - as Gantt chart.

Mind2Chart add-in allows to:

- Observe the whole scope of work in the project or a selected part of it.
- Set key dates of the project, schedule tasks.
- Set dependencies between tasks, automatically modify plans according to them.
- Allocate and manage all kinds of resources (e.g. human resources) for the project tasks, take into account resource limitations when planning.
- Detect problem tasks, "bottle-necks" of the project, critical path.
- Obtain reports about current status of tasks and resource allocation in the ready-to-print form.
- Estimate current project status and obtain information about project progress.

Benefits of Mind2Chart:

- Complete integration in MindManager Pro 7(r), no external applications required.
- Intuitive interface, all common project management tasks are covered with no redundant extra functionality.
- No additional information, Mind2Chart add-in operates only with information that is visible and editable within MindManager(r) interface. Other members of project team can work with the plan even without the add-in installed.
- Two-way instant synchronization with the mind map.

Such details as automatic time calculation, automatic taking into account task relationships and resource capacity, and also elements of analysis, representation of all obtained information on the chart, printable reports - everything that makes the planning process as easy and clear as never before.

Concept maps and web research

For me, web research and concept maps are a good pairing. As I research - I build a map. As I map - I realise new areas that need research.
This papers variously by Arguedas, CaƱas, Carnot, Carvalho, Dunn, Eskridge, Gram, Leake, Maguitman, Muldoon and Reichherzer have helped me to understand why, and see other possibilities.

Assessment by concept map

This piece discusses the nature of knowledge, the difficulty in measuring achievement in the three types of domain knowledge, and how concept maps offer one way of judging students' knowledge structure.

Framework for mind mapping

Here is a link to a set of free templates for many types of mind maps. This is good solid stuff, and if you have MindManager, there's no reason not to get it.
But if you don't have MindManager, well, there's still no reason to hold back - go and pick up the MindManager Viewer from MindJet's site. That is also free.


Knowledge mapping for communities

Here's an interesting slideshow in which authors Simon Buckingham Shum and Alexandra Okada make a case for a move away from text towards knowledge or mind mapping presentation in a knowledge community. Their objective is to change cognition, no less.

Visual mapping and recession-proofing your job

It looks like businesses are in for a tough time in 2008 and beyond. If your employer downsizes, how can you take steps to make sure you're one of the survivors?
