Praise for The One Page Project Manager

The One Page Project Manager for IT Projects: Communicate and Manage Any Project With a Single Sheet of Paper is a remarkable resource for any business or IT professional who are designing and implementing IT projects. It is straightforward and easy to follow. Anyone who is practicing in the project management field will simply have to have this book.

—Hossein Bidgoli

This book provides important tools for the IT executive. Ineffective project execution is one of the primary causes of pain in IT departments, but over-engineering project management methodologies too often take on a life of their own. The One-Page technique has the optimal balance of ease-of-use, flexibility and simplicity that are the hallmarks of a tool that can be used by pragmatic, action-oriented IT teams. In addition to improving project execution, managing with these tools will make status updates and enterprise-wide communication a snap.

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.

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 saves time for an organization’s key resources.

From Boise to Beijing Clark Campbell’s One Page Project Manager has helped managers take complex tasks and reduce them to their most efficient core activities. If you are looking to maximize talent, time and dollars the One Page Project Manager is a MUST HAVE for your team.

—Chester Elton

When managing large projects it is easy to lose oneself in gritty details only to wakeup and realize that you spent valuable time on the wrong issues. In the One-Page Project Manager, Clark Campbell reveals a wonderful tool for keeping projects on task. Only one glance and we see the big issues requiring attention. It’s the perfect organizational solution for the executive needing relevant project information.

As you read through Clark Campbell’s book, you will say to yourself, ‘So simple, yet intuitive and useful; I can put this to work today!’ IT projects require meticulous attention to balancing scope, time, and resources. And the most important factor in successfully maintaining this equilibrium is communication, which the One-Page Project Manager delivers. Use The One-Page Project Manager and your projects will better deliver tasks to your objectives and stay closer to timelines and budgets, while facilitating critical ownership and engagements.

—Todd Thompson

While at initial glance this book may appear to be simply about developing a “dashboard” for tracking an important project, it soon becomes clear that it is much more than that. The approach outlined by Clark Campbell, an experienced and accomplished project leader, provides a proven process for project management that significantly improves the chances that the project will be completed on time, on budget and on target for its intended purposes. Furthermore, it provides a straightforward yet compelling set of steps to ensure that those with the ability and responsibility to achieve the desired results are supported, guided and focused in their efforts to do so. This approach will prove especially beneficial to students and practitioners who want to learn and apply the skills and tools of effective project leadership.

Impressive in its simplicity, yet universal in its application, the One-Page Project Manager began assisting Chinese project managers in 2003, when Mr. Campbell first lectured in Beijing. OPPM is easy to learn and use, and is impressive in its clear capacity to communicate. It should be required reading for every manager who wants to improve project performance, accurately tell their story, and do it efficiently.
