SmartDraw Generates Project Charts Automatically from Mind Maps

One of the most common uses for mind maps is to brainstorm ways to solve a problem and get a job done—in short, planning projects. With this in mind, SmartDraw makes it easy to go from planning to doing by allowing you to instantly transform your mind map to a Gantt project chart. Plan your project with a mind map, then with the click of your mouse, view it as a Gantt chart. Toggle between the mind map and Gantt chart views at any time. Changes you make in one view will be reflected in the other.
