       Breakdown Structure.

      Select Tasks - Gantt View from the MindGenius navigation

 Tasks can be added, removed and moved throughout the
       task outline

      Any change to the tasks in this view will also be reflected in
       the mind map view

      This means project managers can choose the view that
       makes the most sense for the job

Step 3. Estimate task duration

      The next step is to estimate the duration of the tasks

      Clicking on a task will allow the user to adjust task
       parameters i.e. start dates, finish dates, milestones and
       costs.
