Looking for a professional Gantt chart tool that is fast and easy to use? Then MatchWare MindView 3 Business is the ideal project management software tool for you! MatchWare MindView lets you use Mind Mapping to help every member of your team fully understand the project, contribute to planning, follow the project timeline and clearly visualize all tasks in an organized manner.

Increase the productivity of your project management meetings with Mind Mapping!

Faster, easier and more effective than traditional note taking, MatchWare MindView Business software is the ultimate brainstorming tool. MindView Business lets you instantly capture your ideas and present them visually as a Mind Map. While brainstorming, you can add any number of branches and sub-branches to your Mind Map to represent different ideas or tasks, enter notes and comments, and even attach relevant files to any branch.

MindView Business is the ideal tool for presenting hierarchical Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), as it provides different views including Mind Map, Top-Down and a Left/Right view and allows you to switch between these views instantaneously.

Once your brainstorming phase is complete, simply drag and drop the branches of your Mind Map to transform it into the necessary Work Breakdown Structure.

MindView Business also lets you insert graphics on the Mind Map to illustrate specific concepts: according to the Mind Mapping theory, the inclusion of visual elements significantly clarifies thinking and boosts retention.

Turn your ideas into action plans!

Apply task information including the following in the intuitive Mind Map interface:

• Scheduling information
• Resources
• Priorities
• Completion levels

This information is easily shared, thereby allowing all team members to participate in the planning and execution of your projects and maximizing results.

For further task management, you can easily export your Mind Map to Microsoft® Outlook. You can also import existing task lists from Outlook into MindView Business and synchronize versions of the same task list stored in both MindView and Outlook to eliminate redundancies.

Instantly display your Mind Map as a project plan.

Using the MindView Business built-in Gantt view, you can use the familiar Gantt chart representation while making use of all of the standard project management features.

The MindView Business Gantt view empowers project managers and anyone involved in project planning to manage their project schedules from start to finish with maximum efficiency. Its user-friendly visual interface lets you define and modify all of the following project scheduling data quickly and easily:

• Dependencies
• Constraints
• Completion values
• Duration
• Lead/Lag times
• Resources
• Priorities
• Critical path
• Deadlines
• Milestones
• Warning of scheduling conflicts

Once your schedule is established, MindView Business lets you track the status of your project as it progresses by allowing you to view the entire project timeline, examine the critical path, assign priorities, set completion values, check deadlines and milestones and avoid scheduling conflicts. You can also generate various HTML reports such as a "Project Summary", a "Who Does What", a "Completed Tasks", etc.

Integrate with Microsoft Project

MindView Business even lets you export your project plans to Microsoft® Project for further development or to share them with other project managers. You can also import existing project schedules into MindView Business directly from Microsoft Project or via the Microsoft Project XML format, in order to take full advantage of MindView´s Mind Mapping and brainstorming capabilities.

XML import / export

The MindView Business XML Import feature allows you to convert third-party file formats to the Mind Map format even if you don´t own these third-party software applications. Conversely, the XML Export feature lets you integrate MindView Business documents with other applications by simply implementing a transformation file.

In project management, collaboration is key!

MatchWare MindView Business provides an effective collaboration tool by seamlessly integrating with MS Office, offering innovative views such as the Timeline view, and allowing easy distribution with a free viewer and advanced print functions.
