TaskMap
What TaskMap is
TaskMap is a Windows add-in for Microsoft Visio used to document and share process maps. It applies a defined symbol set and methodology to structure maps. Lite shows task numbers, descriptions, responsible and supporting roles, documents or guidelines, and resources. Standard adds automatic numbering and layout, intelligent hyperlinks, and predefined or custom reports. Professional adds user-defined fields, risk management, Excel-linked process data, data visualization, and exports to PowerPoint and Microsoft Project. Professional can store process details in a linked Excel workbook and connect that data to maps. Maps can be viewed in a browser without a Visio license. Lite is free; Standard costs $349, paid once for single-user licensing or $999, paid once for enterprise licensing. Professional costs $549, paid once for single-user licensing or $1,699, paid once for enterprise licensing. A 30-day evaluation and free online training are included.
