Maximize Your Project Management Success with Mind Mapping

Speaker: Lorene Rivera, Territory Account Manager for Mindjet Corporation

Successful project planning depends on effective communication between all of the project's stakeholders. The best-made plans fail if team members don't understand a project's mission, can't find critical data, or don't clearly see where their roles and responsibilities fall within a project.

Mind Mapping has emerged as a powerful technique for quickly generating, capturing, and organizing ideas, tasks, and activities. Utilizing this unique technique ensures success by empowering your team to quickly capture ideas, tasks, and other pertinent ideas and information. This is especially important during the initial planning stages where collaboration is key in creating scope statements, work breakdown structures (WBSs), and risk management plans.

This presentation will demonstrate how the combination of mind mapping software with Microsoft Project can raise the effectiveness of the project team - from the project initiation process through to the final project audit. More specifically, we will show you firsthand how to build a project dashboard and export directly into Microsoft Project using mind mapping software.
