OpenMind 2 Business bridges the gap between Mind Mapping and project management. Instead of traditional whiteboards, project managers can now use Mind Mapping to brainstorm and visualize project plans, add task information, and take notes "on-the-fly". Project management rules can easily be applied to the Mind Map and project managers can switch from the Mind Map view to the built-in Gantt Chart at any time for detailed scheduling. A Timeline View is also available for an alternative representation of the data. OpenMind makes it easy for project managers to collaborate by allowing users to quickly and easily export to and import from Microsoft Project and XML. Mind Maps can easily be shared, even with project managers who don't use OpenMind software. By simply downloading the free OpenMind viewer, they can instantly display or print your project plans on their own their own computers.

A key new feature of OpenMind 2 Business is its Gantt Chart capabilities. OpenMind 2 Business offers you the intuitive, professional-looking Gantt Chart software you need. Simply create project plans in the Mind Map view, then switch to the Gantt Chart view for fine-tuning. Add dependencies, constraints, lead or lag times, milestones, deadlines and so on. OpenMind's dynamic Gantt Chart software creates clear, easy to read reports and offers seamless integration with MS Project, as well as an effective way to print Gantt Charts on your standard office printer.
