Break down concepts and plans into manageable parts with the mind map tool.
Use the new mind map tool in Aha! Whiteboards
Products and organizations often evolve in twists and turns. You jot down notes, outline pathways, and rearrange details as new insights emerge. You need a fast way to break down your ideas and show how topics relate. With today's update, you can easily create mind maps that evolve with your thinking.
Use the new mind map tool in Aha! Whiteboards to organize complex information — clearly showing how concepts connect.
Get your thoughts in order — fast
Whiteboards are perfect for exploring new solutions and collaborating with your team. Brainstorm approaches, define user flows, and sketch mockups — all in one place. You could already manually create diagrams using shapes and connectors. Now, you can quickly spin up mind maps with a purpose-built tool on a whiteboard to structure your thinking.
Start with a central topic and add branches for key themes or categories. Then, easily bring in related details as new thoughts come to mind. Auto-arrange keeps everything neat and readable as your map grows.
Here is what you can do:
Create a hierarchical map to organize information logically.
Capture ideas rapidly using shortcuts to keep the team's creativity flowing.
Keep the layout tidy with auto-arrange capabilities that keep relationships clear.
Customize appearance with theme colors, connector styles, and orientation options.
Mind maps make it easier to explore concepts, solve problems, and plan projects. And since your team can collaborate on the same map, you can reach important decisions faster.
The new mind map tool is now available for all Aha! customers. It is part of Aha! Whiteboards Essentials, which is included in all Aha! products at no additional cost.
