Create collaborative diagrams
Mindomo is a mind map software that allows you to create private diagrams but also share and edit them along with other contributors. More minds are better than one.
Real-time collaboration in Mindomo can serve many purposes, like project management, group brainstorming, academic assignments, and more!
Maximize teamwork by assigning tasks to others directly in Mindomo. Collaborators will receive daily notifications of all the changes and who made them. This way, everyone’s in the loop, and you are keeping your work simple and organized.
Engage in meaningful discussions—use the chat channel or comments thread to talk in real-time with your team members.
Mixed map styles
One of the biggest advantages of Mindomo is that it is more than just a regular mind mapping website. You can create various types of diagrams, timelines, logic charts, fishbone diagrams, Gantt charts, and outlines.
The best part is that you can switch the view modes anytime needed. You might be preparing for a speech and start brainstorming on a mind map. After refining the details, you can switch to the outline view to begin writing the speech.
Also, a project plan can start in a visual diagram format. Afterward, you can turn it into a Gantt chart for even better project management. Take advantage of this unique feature.

Tips and Recommendations
Just follow these simple tips, and put your ideas in motion:
➤ Be concise: use single words or short phrases in your topics. The whole point is to keep it as simple as possible. As a result, information becomes accessible and memorable. This is one of the reasons why mind mapping is a great study technique and an amazing business tool.
➤ Make it as visual as it gets: this is why it’s called a visual representation. You should use different colors, shapes, line types, fonts, icons, images, videos. Play with these graphic elements until you find the perfect fit. Aim for the bigger, clearer picture.
➤ Don’t limit yourself only to one diagram structure. You can combine the mind map, organigram, and concept map structures in the same diagram. Drag and drop the topics and set different structures for different sections. Feel free to express yourself and to personalize your visual diagrams.
