Chuck Frey asked yesterday—How do you define a great mind map? – Mind Mapping Software Blog—while commenters were talking about lots of difference great things about mind maps, my number one thing has always been if someone else looks at it and “just gets it”.
They can follow my train of thought. They understand the point. Even better is when a mind map inspires people to see the idea or problem in a new light. Now that rocks.
