Freeware MindMap Software
I’ve used Mindjet’s Mindmapping software for several years, and use it for almost every proposal, to capture all the intelligence before we begin connecting the dots to the RFP. I wrote about this software here a few months ago.
Now you can try a free software to create mindmaps, called Freemind. I’ve tried it out and it works fine for brainstorming and documenting a debrief session. If you are shy of paying for the MindMap software this is worth a try.
Mindjet Pro is about $350 at the Mindjet.com website, but cheaper from re-sellers on-line, at $170 to just over $200. (Search for Mindjet and you’ll find several re-sellers.)
Freemind is freeware, which means you don’t pay for a license to use it. However, freeware is more like “free speech” than “free beer.” Forums are set up so you may ask for help from other users, and often get it promptly. However, you aren’t a paying customer, so urgency has no place in a freeware forum.
