Instead of writing out a text outline of what current problems remain in my dissertation research, I decided to make a hierarchical graph outlining open problems. I made the figure with OmniGraffle (lays out the hierarchy on its own).
I strongly suggest this method to people trying to map out their dissertation. I have found it easier to keep up to date after meetings and more intuitive to lay out. The only problem is that I can't place paragraph-length descriptions without making the graph cluttered. This results in my research map pretty much only useful to me because it only contains key words. Sorry.
