ASurroca has a sample implementation on bubble map (idea was which invented by Taguchi-san at IDEA*IDEA.). ASurroca has expanded the idea to have some smaller bubbles sticking with bigger bubble to represent the smaller tasks or milestones within the project and the project respectively. He also has some line connectors to represent the relationship between different task:

I think this is a great Idea. I also think by actually drawing out the bubbles you will get more of what you need to do into memory.

ASurroca here. Let me update re: my original bubble implementation. Here’s what’s happened so far:
What has worked: The “milestone” mini-bubbles. I’ve found that crossing off each mini-bubble is quite satisfying. For large projects, these also help give a quick overview everytime you glance at the page.
What didn’t: Making connections between projects with lines. It quickly cluttered my bubble map and became rather unneccessary.
I’m really liking this bubble map thing the more I use it. Perhaps it won’t work for everyone, but it’s definitely working for me so far. Keep an eye out. I’m going to keep posting more to my Flickr account as they evolve.
