Brian,

works well, very much like Interactive Planning Sessions. 

Drawbacks can be

Sessions dominated by a senior manager

Done early on so team not really up to speed with scope or objectives

Used as a learning session

Team too timid to contribute

Political agendas steer the meetings to unsupported decisions

The mind map has to be interpreted by the planner in MSP - What did the meeting mean by that?

Give it a go! For schedule I would definitely do a IPA asap in the project lifecycle and repeat it before each stage gate
