Why use Mind map.
When you are in a relatively saturated state of knowledge and ability, or because a group of problems confuse your mind, or in the early stages of product design, how to use special tools and methods to improve your productivity becomes particularly important, sometimes even 1% The efficiency of the promotion is likely to greatly affect the development of the whole project, with tools we can not only break through their own bottlenecks to create greater value, while also saving valuable time, so the use of tools in the development of the very important, at least I now have a deep understanding. And what I'm going to say is that the drawing mind map is a great solution, sometimes when you draw out the requirements, the structure and ideas will be very clear, and then expand will be more effective, even if you can not take you out of trouble, but it will at least let you clear your mind, see the problem. Tools for drawing Mind maps--xmind
A lot of mind mapping tools, I don't know anything else. No longer in detail, through the network search found Xmind is a Chinese development of excellent thinking mapping tool, and support the export of multiple formats, the corresponding mobile phone app is also good, so I started from it, drawing my first mind map.
Of course, the first is to install Xmind, note that this software has a free version and a paid version, the installation process I will not repeat, there are several points I would like to emphasize, one of the official website of Xmind is here, because of well-known reasons, sometimes the official website needs to take a ladder to open, attention to open the site is all English, Just select the language in the upper right corner to "Chinese" can be, pay attention to download xmind don't go to Baidu download address, or you will doubt life, as for why can see here, the second is about the software version, I currently can download to the latest version of XMind8 Update2, now use this version:
As for the authorization there are many ways I will not say more, spit trough I think xmind current prices completely not in line with national conditions, the domestic version incredibly and edition a pricing, but I still advocate the genuine. Start drawing
In fact, drawing a mind map is very simple, sometimes you only need a pen a piece of paper, we use the software is to more convenient storage and transfer. Drawing a mind map is a process of organizing and spreading your mind, so I think it's better for product designers, and it's true in any field, and it's mostly about how you use it. We open Xmind, select New Mind map:
You can also choose the template, choose the right for their own direct open changes can be used, here we first create a blank map, open the right side of the interface can choose Tools to add modified drawing
Here we can change the central theme into the style we like, border thickness, shading, as well as color can be modified, attention to the central theme is our divergent objects, can also be the requirements of the main theme, click on the center of the selected topic between the return (enter) key or the TAB key can generate the next level of theme, A theme can generate multiple branching topics, after which you can insert a build child theme, which can be multiple
We're almost there. Basic thinking Map drawing logic, I use my current project requirements as an example to draw a simple mind map, the process of drawing is conducive to discovering design flaws, logic problems, etc.
Of course, mind mapping is more than that, we can do better. After the drawing is complete, we can choose to export the format, html,pdf,word,ppt, picture or the. Xmind source file.
OK, I still need to study the specific drawing problem, because I just started to use, so I can only draw some simple pictures, but I want to say is not too dependent on tools, mind map the most important thing is your thinking.
