Improve your Strategic Planning with Analysis Views
Make strategic decisions by prioritizing and categorizing your mapped topics using the new Analysis View. This tool allows you to drag and drop topics into a predefined series of 2x2 analytics charts. Standard charts include Cost vs. Opportunity, Urgent vs. Important, SWOT and others.
Collaborate with extended teams using Mindjet Connect
Integration with Mindjet Connect gives you anytime, anywhere access to your maps, and the ability to share maps and other files. Our Free edition allows you to invite anyone to view, edit, and co-edit your maps – your “guest” editors don’t need to purchase any software to interact with your maps.

Dynamic SharePoint Integration
Bi-directional integration between Microsoft SharePoint and MindManager allows MindManager users to discover, organize, and act on tasks and resources within Microsoft SharePoint.
Real-time Insight at Your Fingertips with the Marker Index Panel
The new Marker Index feature generates real-time lists to help you quickly navigate through priorities, assignments, and topics that need your attention. Because you can click directly from the list view to the corresponding topic in the map, the Marker Index is especially helpful when working on large maps.
New Built-in Templates
To help you get started on your next map, MindManager 2012 comes with 37 templates — from projects & strategic planning, management and problem solving, to meetings and personal productivity. You can also access hundreds of free user-generated templates from MapsForThat.com. Go to the new templates gallery >
Gantt Chart Improvements
You can now drag and drop topics onto the Gantt chart to make them tasks. Printing of Gantt charts is easier with print preview, and the ability to select a specific date range for printing.
Enhanced Task Management
Simplified and improved ability to sort, filter and manage tasks. Now with milestones and preset filters for resources, priorities, due dates, milestones and complete or incomplete status for tasks.
Multiple Hyperlinks & New Embedded Browser Features
Assign multiple hyperlinks per topic, send images, selected text, or an entire page to your map as topics using the embedded browser.
Improved User Experience
New users can get started faster, and experienced users will be more productive with a new user task pane and enhancements to the MindManager interface. This includes a new “How To” task pane with a series of videos and images and text to guide a new user through the basic tasks required to create their first information map. The Home tab on the ribbon now contains all of the most frequently used mapping functionality.
