Experience

Mindmaps might be developed on posters in a group process. They might help individuals in their research, or even be used as an electronical tool.

However, as the tool is today a standard, one could look for alternatives such as Problem Trees, Ishikara Diagrams,...

Variation

Applications for electronic mindmapping are especially effective, as everything can be rearranged or enlarged. The open source electronic tool FreePlane helps you to change, rearrange, add and connect ideas, words or phrases. Even complex knowledge can be arranged in such electronic maps.
