Case Study: Rare Carat achieves streamlined global collaboration and Confluence integration with MindMeister

How to Organize Knowledge and Projects Using MindMeister and Confluence

Rare Carat, a 17‑person diamond startup that compares diamond prices using IBM Watson, faced collaboration challenges with a globally distributed team. While Confluence was their central knowledge base, their previous mind‑mapping tool (Mindjet MindManager) lacked integration with Confluence and fell short for planning and brainstorming, so they adopted MindMeister to improve real‑time ideation and project organization.

Using MindMeister, Rare Carat now runs definition and ideation phases with visual mind maps embedded directly in Confluence pages. MindMeister lets them capture an “idea inbox,” turn branches into tasks with due dates and assignees, and keep plans alongside documentation—streamlining planning, reducing tool‑switching, and improving visibility and task management across the team.
