Big Hairy Goal is a great app for creative thinkers and planners. The ability to create tasks from the outline screen, drag them onto the map and then move them around and edit them is perfect for creating and planning out the overall flow of projects. There are many other ways to organise information and ideas, such as folders, lists, and sub-tasks. There are many different ways to link information between items. I love that I can add photos, videos, text notes, and links directly to any item…

Pros
  • Big Hairy Goals is a great app for creative thinkers and planners.
  • Easy to use
  • Very easy to collaborate across team members.
Cons
  • Some of the transitions are a little rough when moving through the app
  • Lack of tags
  • The outline and task screens are not very well integrated.

Big Hairy Goal is a great way to start working on projects. It helps me visualize my thoughts and ideas. My favorite part is creating my own maps and brainstorming my goals. I love how I can change colors and add text to any object on my map. This app is great for both beginners and experienced designers. One thing this tool lacks is being able to see if there are other users or comments already made on an idea/map. For example, I created a map for a project at work. In order to find someone…

Pros
  • Being able to create maps is awesome because it gives us a way to easily share our thoughts.
  • I can't think of anything that could be improved, this app does everything we wanted it to do!
  • Being able to make maps private would make sharing with friends easier!
Cons
  • There isn't a way to share with other people
  • There aren't many features

As a user of Big Hairy Goal I find it to be useful in two ways. First, it is a great way to organize my thoughts, and second, it provides a good place to start the idea process. It helps me to get all of my brainwaves going about an idea. When trying to come up with new ideas, I find myself either having to write them down or talk them out. In the latter case, I have no choice but to try and make sense of it, and that often takes me in circles because I don't really know how to articulate what…

Pros
  • Helps to organize your thoughts
  • Provides a good place to start the idea process
Cons
  • Not many options for filtering and searching
  • The site design isn't very intuitive
