Here’s a list of the tools I use, in case you’re interested in getting started in the whole process mapping gig. It’s a ton of fun, and a great way to turn information into actionable steps!
Process Map/Flowcharts – Microsoft Visio 2007
This is what I use for all the process maps.
Mind Mapping – FreeMind
Great for brainstorming, and just making things look cool.
Project Planning – Gantt Project
Gantt Charts are a huge part of making my business successful. I’ve got to throw a shout out to the Gantt Project Guys; great work! It’s very compatible with Microsoft Project, but allows you to do just what you need (and it’s free). Tip: Make deliverables milestones.
Project Management – activeCollab
I’d pull my hair out without a great project management system to manage outsourcers.
