Mind Maps

A document used during the initial phase of planning, where thoughts and ideas can be linked together off a central hub.

You write the ideas on the lines coming out of the middle, not at the end of the lines. That's spider diagrams. But nobody really cares about this difference apparently so oh well.

You can also add additional related ideas splitting off from the initial lines, and colour code everything.

They also allow you to link ideas between different branches of the lines.

Why Mind Map?
Allows for the development ideas following blue sky thinking.

Can begin to explore which ideas are the best and most fruitful - which open up constructive possibilities and which don't.

Can begin to explore various ways of developing ideas.

Can identify ways that ideas might connect and combine.
