The One-Page Project Manager: Communicate and Manage Any Project With a Single Sheet of Paper

I have been seeking to find an effective way to manage any project (i.e. big, small, simple and complicated) & to report project status from a helicopter view and one which senior management and project teams would understand. I call it Dashboard Project Management. Clark Campbell has shown an effective way to do this. A way to represent the triple constraint, together with quality and customer satisfaction. I am implementing it in my organisation and in my consulting practice to communicate better to all stakeholders.

If you've ever needed to manage several projects at once, you know the dilemma: there has to be a better way to track the projects quickly, concisely and reliably, but finding and learning that better way always seems too tedious, costly, or complicated. This book solves that problem. We're rolling out the tool in my firm and we've been impressed with how easy it is to use and how much useful information it communicates, even for complex, lengthy projects. It's intuitive and there are no bells and whistles and no overkill. Highly recommended.

This is the most productive method I've seen to capture the essence of project management. Not too complicated, not too simple. For those with experience this is certainly a method to adopt for rapid, vivid, and persistent communication. I wish I'd had this years ago, but am glad it came along now. It clearly save time for an organization's key resources.

Developed my own 1 page project manager and have been using it for the last several years but it never felt complete. Kept searching and even tried to get the publisher and Campbell to release a book to me earlier with no success. I received and read the book on Monday, defaced it on Tuesday and was using the form by Tuesday afternoon. Re-read the book Tuesday night. The book is an easy read, does not try to re-teach me project management but explains the use of the form. The 1 page project manager is right on target. It is better than mine! The simplicity makes it easy for non-professional and begining project managers to use but when used by seasoned veterans for its reporting aspect it will be truly appreciated. Recommend it to anyone, but beware like all plans it is in the implementation of them that makes them succesful, not in the form itself. That is why the simplicity of a single page works.
