Think before you build

Raw ideas go in; an action plan comes out.

With Taskie mind maps you put the problem in the middle, open up branches with your team and, at the end of the session, turn the key nodes into tasks with an assignee and due date.

Problem and solution

An idea without structure never gets executed.

01 The problem

Brainstorming sessions usually end full of energy and carry on with little to show, because the links between ideas aren’t recorded anywhere and nobody owns the next step.

  • Linear notes don’t show how ideas connect.
  • Good branches from the session are left without an owner or an output.
  • The team moves each idea by hand from the thinking tool to the doing tool.

02 Taskie's answer

Think in branches, finish with action

Mind maps are built inside the project itself. Your team opens branches together, prioritizes paths and turns the chosen nodes into tasks right there.

  • Free-form branching for brainstorming and problem analysis.
  • Team thinking on one shared map, not several separate files.
  • Turn nodes into project tasks so the session’s output isn’t lost.

Workflow

From one node in the middle to a task list

From intake to delivery, every step has an owner and a clear output.
  1. Problem at the center

    Put the main topic — a new product, a campaign, an operational problem — in the middle of the map.

  2. Open the branches

    Add ideas, risks and options branch by branch, with the team chipping in.

  3. Pick a path

    Mark the branches you can act on and keep the rest for later.

  4. Turn into tasks

    The chosen nodes join the project’s task list with an assignee and due date.

Outcome

Mind maps in practice: what actually changes?

A visual space to think and connect ideas to execution.

You see the connections

What a linear list hides, the map reveals: which idea depends on which.

Less ambiguity before execution

Before building a backlog, the team has seen the scope and path and agreed on them.

Session output stays alive

The map stays in the project; the next session picks up from there, not from scratch.

Thinking and doing in one space

From branch to task is a single step; manual hand-offs between tools disappear.

Session output
Tasks, not photos
Nodes turn straight into project tasks and get an assignee.
Thinking together
On one map
Members add branches and comments together — not each in their own file.
Where the map lives
In the project
The map never gets lost among personal files; it’s always at the team’s fingertips.

Use cases

Put Mind maps to work in these situations

Product discovery

Structure user needs, hypotheses and risks before writing the backlog.

Campaign planning

Branch out message, channel and content, and build the execution tasks from there.

Root-cause analysis

Open up causes and effects on the map and record a corrective action for each branch.

FAQ

Questions about Mind maps

How is a mind map different from a whiteboard?

A mind map has a branching structure built for breaking a topic into parts; a whiteboard is a free canvas for drawing and arranging anything. Start with a map for analysis and a whiteboard for designing workflows.

How does a map’s output become tasks?

Select a node and create a task from it right there; set the assignee and due date on the spot and the task joins the project list. Nothing is left for “I’ll move it later”.

How many people can work on one map?

Every project member has access to the map and can work on it together. In brainstorming sessions, one person leads and the others add their own branches.
