This method, which allows you to organize your mind and make well-thought-out decisions by looking at a problem, can be used individually or in groups.
The main objective is written in the center, giving rise to branches of keywords that are created as you go along, from which other ideas, tasks, and constraints start. The diagram goes from the general (in the center) to the specific.
Project manager, project team, your work does not stop there: now that the different tasks are well identified, you need to establish their interconnection (or interdependence).
The tasks can be :
- successive,
- simultaneous,
- convergent.
But which ones should be done first for a logical and fluid sequence?
Two criteria come into play:
- The importance of the task in the overall project,
- Its degree of urgency.
