Brainstorming, Meetings and Mindjet
I first heard of mind maps about five years ago as a means to protocol a meeting. I also briefly tried it during requirements gathering sessions with clients but the idea didn't seem to catch on in my then company (plus I only had a demo version.
With the new office landscape that I am currently living and lots of new colleagues and ways of doing things I was reacquainted with mind maps, specifically Mindjet Mindmanager.
You can also export your mind map directly to MS Word and it creates a document skeleton based on your mind map. If you make changes to your document you can also update your mind map with your changes.
It takes a little getting used to but once you get the hang of it how you gather requirements, do project status meetings and brainstorming will be changed forever.
I will admit that it's not the cheapest piece of software you will buy this year, but for our organization it's definitely paid for itself.
Happy Coding...
