Mind Mapping - Another Tool to Identify Problems
Mind Mapping, originated by Tony Buzan, is simply drawing circles and lines to help you quickly think about and categorize your ideas, problems, concepts, and subjects.
Rules for Mind Mapping
Mind mapping is successful because it takes advantage of the brain's natural ability to categorize ideas in a rapid, but rather unorganized manner.
Using this technique, you will be able to take any topic, project, or problem and quickly determine related categories, processes, procedures, etc. Once the mind map is complete, it is merely a matter of reorganizing the information into the more common outline format.
Look at the mind map diagram. In the center, write the problem statement. Then, try to think of different factors that are more obvious causes of the problem. Let your subconscious do the work while you focus on another project.
Next, look at each factor listed and ask why that particular cause exists.
After a while (minutes to hours), you will build a diagram similar in form (but not content) to the example.
