Toyer Mamoojee (Head of QA and Test Engineering) explores the uses of mind mapping in software engineering, from the strategic leadership level to detailed software testing. Toyer shares how he uses mapping to facilitate global collaboration in remote and diverse teams, and how mind mapping streamlines communication, aids software engineering, and supports testing processes. He illustrates how he uses XMind software to work collaboratively across devices and locations. Toyer demonstrates the power of mind mapping to provide both macro and micro views, from high level architecture to unit level in the development of an app.

Robert "Bob" Bogucki shares how he uses MindMeister to gain a comprehensive view of client IT Ecosystems before beginning digital transformation projects and ERP implementations. Bob shows how mind maps can become the vital "source of truth" for IT teams and service providers, and help to identify connections, dependencies, duplication, and redundancies in IT provision. Sharing real-world examples from his extensive work in IT consulting, Bob shows us how mind mapping is 'baked in' to his FOBOS methodology for digital transformation, and how mapping has helped him better align IT solutions with genuine client needs.
