The world's best mind mapping software
now with universal file export, connections to 700+ apps, and timelines
Use MindManager maps and diagrams like virtual whiteboards
to capture and organize your best thinking.
We are pleased to announce that the all-new Mindjet MindManager 2017 for Windows is here! Customers can use MindManager as a virtual whiteboard for brainstorming ideas, personal productivity and project planning due to its flexibility and visualisation features. Beyond mind maps, additional diagram types can be developed to capture and structure information. A major benefit is the integration with Microsoft Office, which enables users to synchronise and export information, i.e. synchronisation of tasks between Outlook and mind maps, or quick and easy export to Word or Excel. The visual layout, together with the calculation function or Gantt-charts, support business requirements, such as project schedules, competitive research, budget assumptions and strategic priorities
The all-new MindManager 2017 is now the most integrated mapping solution in the world. With new universal file export, you can now share your MindManager content with anyone on any platform, exporting your best ideas, plans and notes to 700+ web apps. Create and share dynamic information maps, mind maps, process flow diagrams, concept maps, project dashboards, and now interactive timelines. Or, turn your maps into interactive dashboards and receive updates when changes are made in any of the 700+ integrated apps.
With new project planning tools, project timelines, workflow diagram improvements, and more new features and user interface enhancements, MindManager 2017 for Windows is a major release you won’t want to miss.
Here are some exciting new capabilities that will help you surpass all business hurdles:
Universal File Export - now it’s easier than ever to share your MindManager files with others in HTML5 format, which can be viewed on virtually any browser
Better Project Planning & Management – never miss another deadline thanks to the new critical path view and the highlight of tasks that are late or at risk
Timeline Views & Other Visual Enhancements - the brand new timeline format and expanded image library give you more ways to organise and share information visually
Integration with 700+ Cloud Apps - now you can exchange information between MindManager and popular apps like Trello, Asana, Google Docs, and more, via Zapier
MindManager works like a virtual whiteboard, and its flexibility
encourages more creative thinking. With MindManager, visualize
and organize ideas and information using dynamic mind maps,
flowcharts, timelines and organizational charts. It’s simple to
get started and powerful to use or capture and organize ideas,
develop plans and align teams by communicating complex
topics more clearly. Brainstorm individually or collaboratively with
organised maps that you can save, share, and present—unlike
sloppy flipcharts and sticky notes. Use maps to increase clarity,
understanding and team alignment as you develop strategies and
plans, capture requirements and facilitate meetings.
Have you heard that Mindjet now belongs to Corel, the long-time leader in technologies that drive visual communication? This exciting news, that happened last August, opens up a wealth of opportunity for future innovation but doesn’t change anything for our collaboration.
Not only that… MindManager Enterprise is also being improved to offer new communication and collaboration features.
Upgrade Protection Plan is an annual subscription (with automatic annual renewal) that protects the customer’s investment in a MindManager single licence. Customers covered by the UPP will receive new feature releases, including major upgrades, for MindManager for Windows and MindManager for Mac during the life of the subscription. Telephone helpdesk support is available during normal business hours.
To meet the daily work requirements, most people need several pieces of information that is often distributed across multiple sources and systems. The Microsoft® Office® suite of applications provides the suitable software to most daily tasks of which workers benefit tremendously. However, when it comes to gathering, structuring and forwarding information, when documents are changed and updated and complex issues need to be understood, users need a simple way to navigate through and understand the complex pieces of information.
MindManager helps users gain an overview of information in a single view, the mind map, filter this information according to priorities, better understand the relationships among ideas and information, and, above all, greatly reduce the time-consuming search for information. From the first mind mapping session right through to specifying individual assignments, all project phases, meeting notes, and all related information can be consistently documented in the same map.
Users can take advantage of the best of both worlds – organizing information using MindManager’s flexible visual map format AND easily link or export the same information to Microsoft applications. Microsoft Office documents and emails can be attached or linked, tasks and appointments can be synchronized with Outlook® or entire maps can be exported to Excel® and Word® for inclusion in presentations or reports.
Stronger together – MindManager complements Microsoft products by enabling users to use maps to visually aggregate and organize information and to serve as a “cockpit” for organizing work, running projects and managing knowledge.

recorded webinar.
MindManager 2017 for Windows – What’s New!
Universal Sharing and Enhanced File Management
Universal File Export Export MindManager maps to an interactive HTML5 file which can be shared and viewed on any modern browser.
Viewers can navigate within the map, open and close branches, access links, attachments and view topic notes, pan
and zoom, search for information and more.
Redesigned and Expanded File Management
An easier way to access files no matter where they are stored. MindManager 2017 supports files stored locally, or
behind the client’s firewall in their SharePoint environment, online with Box and online with the beta Mindjet Cloud
service.
New in this version is the ability to easily add SharePoint sites so users can navigate to and open SharePoint files
from within MindManager. When viewing the map, users can also quickly check in or out SharePoint files. Also new is
the Box integration which allows users to store and access files from within Box and to lock and unlock Box files
directly from within MindManager providing an easy new option for collaborating with Box files.
Project Management Improvements
Visualize the Critical Path
Project managers and planners benefit from being able to see a project’s critical path, which is the sequence of
dependent tasks that determine the minimum time needed to carry out the project plan. If a critical task is delayed,
the project may also be delayed. Managers can view the highlighted critical path in the map as well as the Gantt
chart. They can also filter to only display the critical path and all of its associated tasks to focus on the most
important tasks in the plan and mitigate any issues.
Task Highlights – Completed, At Risk and Late Tasks
Project planners can easily spot tasks that their attention with MindManager’s Task Highlights. Automatically highlight
completed tasks, tasks at risk and late tasks. Task highlights can be set for all tasks or limited to roll-up tasks.
Expanded Task Filters
Task quick filters and MindManager’s Power Filter now includes the ability to filter on completed tasks, at risk task,
late tasks and tasks that are on the project’s critical path.
Enhanced Printing for Gantt Charts
New option to provide automatic page scaling added to the Print dialog for Gantt charts making it easier to share
plans with other team members.
Zapier Integration
Zapier is a third party web application that allows you to automate tasks between MindManager and 700+ web
applications. For Project Planners and Managers, it’s possible to create plans within MindManager and send
(via Zapier) the plans to be managed in dozens of project management and task applications like Trello, Basecamp,
Jira, Wrike, Asana, Todoist, Wunderlist and many more. Also, MindManager can receive updates from these apps too
to create dynamic dashboards. Topics in MindManager can be created when tasks and milestones are competed
within the Project or Task apps, when team members add files in Project folders within Box, OneDrive, Google Drive,
or other file systems. It’s even possible to email updates and have them sent directly to the project dashboard.
Option to Wrap Topic and Task Info
Apply word wrapping to topic info text to allow all resources, tags, and other metadata to be fully displayed within
the map eliminating the need to hover over topic information to see the full text which is presented in tool tips
Project Dependencies and Relationships
It’s now easier to see and navigate across task dependencies when related tasks are within closed branches in the
map. A new relationship icon appears on dependent tasks which can be clicked to navigate to one or more
dependent tasks or related topics.
New and Enhanced Visualizations
New Timeline Layouts
Structure and present time based information visually with new vertical and horizontal timeline templates and map
layouts. Display project timelines highlighting key milestones, communicate company history visually or future plans,
or use the capabilities to illustrate product and development roadmaps. These dynamic timelines leverage MindManager’s ability to create additional sub-topics within the timeline, show or hide branch content, add important
meta-data like priorities, percent complete, notes, hyperlinks and more. Filter topics within the timeline or leverage the
map index to quickly navigate topics.
Flow Chart Enhancements
Several updates that help users draw flow charts with ease, including a flow chart shape chooser, right-angle
relationship lines for cleaner diagrams, an easier way to insert topics between existing flowchart topics, and image
options for workflow topics. Other improvements include simplifying the insert relationship experience for flow chart,
floating and regular map topics. Combined, all of these enhancements make flowcharts and concept maps faster to
create and easier to read.
Allow Duplicate Tags
In MindManager 2017, it’s now possible to include the same tag name in multiple tag groups. For example, create
tags like “Low”, “Medium” and “High” in more than one tag group like “Opportunity”, “Risk”, “Strategic Fit”, etc…
New Images in the Image Library and Updated Template Library
Add visual flair to your topics with over 700 new topic images which can be easily resized without losing quality. The
default size of the images are larger (52x52) in MindManager 2017 and allow you to scale to the maximum resolution
of 192x192 without losing image quality. We’ve added new categories too, including Design & Engineering, Science
& Medical, Transportation, Food, Holidays, and more. You can still access images from the previous version in the
Legacy category. MindManager’s templates have also been updated with images from the new image library.
MindManager Enterprise – What’s New!
Beyond all of MindManager 2017 for Windows updates, here is a list of improvements to MindManager Enterprise:
SharePoint Integration
The MindManager – SharePoint Task synchronization has expanded from task name, priority, progress, resources,
start date and end date, to now include Categories.
