Mind mapping

It's been a little while without anything major happening on the project. Both Greg and I have been tied up with more immediately pressing responsibilities giving diminished time for this project. That's not to say that nothing has happened, little tweaks and decisions have been ticking along in the odd moments we can spare. 


I did think it was worth pointing a blogging finger at the project mind map that has recently surfaced. I'm a big fan of mind maps when their use adds value but so often have found that they turn into little more than a time sink as a simple list would suffice. However, for this project I'm finding it very handy indeed to be able to dump thoughts in a structured manner. With scary speed the complexity of the map is increasing - or rather it is driving out the complexity already within the project.

No doubt as this map is expanded, revised, reiterated and reviewed it will drive the development of the requirements and be a good refresher when we're working on the code details. Anyway, I'm a fan and it turns out a couple of interesting images so I think that makes it blog-worthy. If the title image leaves you wanting more then here's the current version in full for your perusal.


I'm still looking about for an online collaborative mind-mapping tool that I like so you only get images for now.
