About the Mind Map Template

The Mind Map Template is a well-organized, graphic representation of your next brainstorm. Ideal for visual learners, this method lacks the rigid structure of other ideation techniques, focusing instead on the free association of concepts and ideas, connecting creative and logical thinking.

What is a mind map?

A is a diagram designed to organize information in a visual hierarchy. It's often used to see connections between concepts or ideas. Think of it as a tree. The center of your mind map - or its trunk - is the subject, question, or problem you're trying to solve. Once you've established your trunk, your brainstorm begins. As your team jots down all their ideas, topics, and subtopics, the branches of your mind map will start to form.

Select the Mind Map Template

Afterward, share the link with your team to plan a mind mapping session.
Start with the central concept
The center of your mind map (or trunk) is the specific question or idea central to getting to the bottom of your topic or solving your problem. Type it in the center of the Mind Map Template.
Brainstorm
Give your team 5 minutes to write down the first idea that comes to mind when thinking about the main concept. To brainstorm , you can use images, words, or short phrases. Remember, this is a quick exercise meant to encourage free thinking.
Extend your mind map
Write down ideas as branches that extend from the center of your mind map. Once you're ready to move or structure ideas, hold down Ctrl or Cmd and click on concepts to drag and rearrange the branches.
Develop branches
Once you have your first set of branches mapped out, choose one branch and ask yourselves: Where else can we take this? What is a related concept or problem? Then, draw a branch extending from the first branch and put your second idea at the end.
Continue until a stop
Repeat the process until you feel like you're at a good stopping point.

Try changing the color and orientation of your mind map, or introducing things like sticky notes , images, or emojis.

Mind Map examples

Creating a mind map is very straightforward. You just need time and a shared space to write down your ideas and concepts. Mind mapping can be about any topic.

Let's say you want to explore a product feature, like video calls. You can have this feature at the center of your mind map and from there draw branches with related topics or concepts, such as communication, team building, online meetings, and so on. Soon enough, you can visualize topic clusters around video calls and can quickly identify which ones you think are worth exploring further and which ones might not make sense at the moment.

It's always helpful to ask some questions along the way like "Where is this leading?" or "What is it?", so you know which concepts are leading you to the expected results.
