Love your slide show! Particularly the figures about what you could achieve in such a short time. I have been mind mapping for IA and UX work for some time and my staff and I absolutely love it!
I have also used it to write usability reports as it is easy to structure the points and make sure there is no repetition and then export to word.
I did a preso on it here: http://www.slideshare.net/jamesbreeze/mindmapping-the-ux-122518 When I do an IA in mind=manager I use the organisation tree structure to format the IA. I find that clients are more accepting of this in this format. You will see it in my latest slide shows on slideshare.

Love your slide show! Particularly the figures about what you could achieve in such a short time. I have been mind mapping for IA and UX work for some time and my staff and I absolutely love it!
I have also used it to write usability reports as it is easy to structure the points and make sure there is no repetition and then export to word.

When I do an IA in mind=manager I use the organisation tree structure to format the IA. I find that clients are more accepting of this in this format. You will see it in my latest slide shows on slideshare.
