Capture Information
Use a Mindjet visual map as a freeform whiteboard — one that lets you quickly gather and display everyone’s thoughts. Focus on keeping up with the flow of ideas, knowing you can organize them later.


Organize Ideas
Drag and drop to group and connect related ideas around a central topic.


Expand Ideas
Add more detail in sub-topics (branches) to the more important ideas. Expand and collapse sub-topics to control the level of detail displayed.


Choose Ideas to Pursue
Choosing which ideas to pursue can be the hardest part — displaying priorities using graphical markers can help everyone visualize the tradeoffs.


Add Information
Add related attachments, notes, and links. Having all relevant information in a single map lets everyone see their ideas and related content in context.


Take Action
Lay out next steps and task assignments to make sure you have each person’s buy-in.


Staying in Sync
Share your map with the team and beyond. Using a map for brainstorming means you don’t have to transcribe your notes, and everyone can reference the decisions at their convenience.
