For years, if you wanted to be able to use a mind map to plan a project and then convert it into a GANTT chart for implementation, you only had two main choices: MindView and MindManager. But both of them have been fairly quiet during the last several years, leaving an opening for a more aggressive competitor: Xmind.
The developers of this popular mind mapping tool recently launched a new version of it that now includes light weight project management. With it, you can:
Brainstorm your project in a mind map
Use AI to break it into priorities, deadlines and progress.
Manage your tasks in either GANTT or mind map views
