What software do you use for Issue and Dialogue Mapping? You don’t need software to create either type of these maps. However, we recommend using Compendium. Compendium was initially developed in Verizon research labs as a next generation version of the QuestMap product, which provided software support for the widely recognized IBIS methodology (Issue-Based Information System), as embodied in Dialogue Mapping by CogNexus Institute. Learning Compendium is a bit of an investment, but we believe it is the best software out there to do this kind of mapping.
Dialog mapping is different yet very similar to mind mapping. These can be a very powerful software but it works best if you understand the concepts of dialog mapping from Jeff Conklin. by fatherantox Dec 15
