I should make it clear that this is an older video using an earlier version TheBrain when they were still calling it PersonalBrain. But it has only gotten better at this stuff since then.

I’d suggest https://www.plectica.com/ for the mapping and visualisation needs.

If it’s set up correctly (using short titles for top level cards, regions, and relationships), it would enable you to use the semantic zoom, meaning that you can zoom in and out with the mouse or touchpad and the software hides the detail and highlights the ‘big picture’ view of the key elements and relationships, while you can also zoom in and develop things in great detail.

The free version allows you to get a good idea of how this works (there are eventually limits as to how many cards you can add (250 in total).

Hi Matt,

This type of dependencies is typically managed with project management software (i.e. Gantt charts) which can link tasks with different properties (link type, delays, critical path calculation - PCM, etc)

Have you considered this ? Why do you think that a visualization tool would be better suited ?

Another option for just the diagramming part is yEd by yWorks: https://www.yworks.com/products/yed

I believe it’s free to use.
