Mind Mapping: Used as a programming tool
Mind-mapping? What's that?
As with other diagramming tools, mind maps can be used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid tostudying and organizing information, solving problems, making decisions, and writing.
Mind maps have many applications in personal, family, educational, and business situations, including notetaking, brainstorming (wherein ideas are inserted into the map radially around the center node, without the implicit prioritization that comes from hierarchy or sequential arrangements, and wherein grouping and organizing is reserved for later stages), summarizing, as a mnemonic technique, or to sort out a complicated idea. Mind maps are also promoted as a way to collaborate in color pen creativity sessions.

We used Buzan's mind mapping method and software to move quickly through a large organization's programming task at an accelerated pace. We believe this shaved two-months of extensive interviewing and analysis from our process and time frame!
