They let me maintain a high level view and drill down to detail if I need to in a second. With our projects, we don’t even know what the tasks are until we have mapped out the project in terms of it’s environment, actors, resources and event dependencies. You just get in and plug the tasks in until it’s all there. Now, the traditional WBS works well for known workflows, and Asana is brilliant for that. In fact we picked Asana over Wrike because of Asana’s conceptual flexibility. One month we may be helping a startup ideate on a business model, the next we are building brand element for an established firm. I run a small design strategy business, where the kind of projects that come in are radically different from one to the next. I use mindmaps for pretty much everything, and they are particularly useful for planning projects where I work. It provides a fast way of creating sub-tasks from the main project tasks pane. Indented text as sub-tasks is something to think about though. Still useful though, because the level of indentation is a visual indicator, and I can just drag these into a task, as sub-tasks later.
Thanks for sharing this great idea! Looking forward to learning Unfortunately these are not sub-tasks - just indented text. I’d love to hear more about your creative process…Do you use mind mapping for general brainstorming, project planning, or something else? What do you see as the primary benefit for converting these ideas into Asana tasks? And lastly, if the ideas will be converted into tasks anyway, why not do the brainstorming in Asana in the first place? Are these actually Asana subtasks, or are they just tasks with indentation (as in a text editor) so it’s clear that they’re nested beneath another idea? If they were Asana subtasks, I’d expect not to be able to see them in project view, except of course if they were tethered to the parent project. You describe the indentations for subtasks and I can see them in your picture. I actually usually do mind mapping with a pen and paper, but now that I know that it’s possible to turn a mind map into Asana tasks using freeplane, I may just have to explore freeplane.Ī clarification question for you. this is amazing! I also find mind mapping to be a super helpful creative tool.
