possibly it ’s because I have those write up - card warnings from my elementary school teachers to heart—“Needs to diddle well with others”—but I ’m always impressed when two dissimilar programs from two different company not only work well together but in reality team up to extend each others ’ capacity .
This tone of concerted collaboration seems to be in full effect among makers of task management and mind - mapping programs recently . labor - management programme are great for assigning tasks to people , marshal your resources , and by and large number up with a plan of attack . But brainstorming the idea that take form the groundwork of that plan ? That ’s really more of the persuasiveness of mind - mapping programme that tolerate you to appropriate and organise those free - floating idea .
So why not turn to one tool to complement the other ? That ’s whatAEC SoftwareandMindjethave done . interlingual rendition 9.1 of AEC ’s FastTrack Schedule adds integration with Mindjet ’s MindManager 6 . With just a few clicks , FastTrack Schedule drug user can spell datum from MindManager files , turning brainstorm maps into editable project - direction schedules .
“ We remember about adding an chemical element like that [ on our own ] , ” enounce Ryan Kish , AEC ’s vice president of marketing , as he show the FastTrack - MindManager integrating to me at AEC ’s Expo cubicle ( # S943 ) . “ But what we do substantially is scheduling . As far as mapping out melodic theme , that ’ what [ MindJet ] does well . ”
The two society launched a month - long Smart Project Workflow promotion that bundles the two applications together . MBAWareoffers a $ 399 pile of FastTrack Schedule and MindManager for business enterprise users;CreationEngineis doing the same affair for Department of Education user with a $ 189 bundle . The promotion finish January 31 .
Of course , ProjectWizardswould point out that consolidation with mind - map tool is honest-to-goodness hat for its project - management program Merlin . The first version of Merlin permit you import mind function make inNovaMind ’s self - title mind - mapping program . ( As they did at last year ’s Expo , the two companies are showing their wares side - by - side [ booth # S331 ] . )
With Merlin 2 , release in November , ProjectWizards has extend this interoperability . In summation to spell mind map , you may export Merlin - create undertaking into judgement - mapping programs turning them into mind mapping . And ProjectWizards did n’t limit this capableness to NovaMind ; you could also export undertaking into MindManager as well as the free Java - basedFreeMind .
