The Mind Map view is one of several project management tools available in both Zenkit Base & Zenkit Projects.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Mind Map is an excellent tool for ‘mapping’ the way your brain makes connections. It allows you to visualise the relative importance of ideas & clarify links between them, as well as think more creatively & effectively generate new concepts. This feature, particularly in the early stages of ideation, can help unlock the potential of your project & direct its flow.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n A mind map organises information in a way that is similar to how the brain works. This project view depicts ideas & thoughts in a radiant, rather than linear, manner. They also typically use words, short phrases, & images to aid in their use & structuring.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n According to research, the brain performs best when working on the\u00a0basis of association, where every idea is linked\u00a0to new ideas. As a result, a mind map is extremely useful because it maps processes in the same way that our brain does.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n This tool’s basic concept is “radiant thinking,” which maps out your thoughts by using connections & triggers to stimulate further ideas. As a result, it is easier to extract new ideas & structure them into a visually appealing & easy-to-follow format.<\/p>\r\n Tony Buzan, an author & educational consultant, popularised the Buzan method of mind mapping in the 1970s.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n He designed it with the intention of deriving subtopics & new ideas from a central concept. Buzan’s mind mapping method employs colours to differentiate between topics, as well as a single keyword for each branch emanating from the central idea. This is done to depict the basic ordering ideas (BOI).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
