FIRST SENTENCE: Imagine.
SUMMARY: [From Amazon] The One-Page Project Manager shows you how to boil down any project into a simple, one-page document that can be used to communicate all essential details to upper management, other departments, suppliers, and audiences. This practical guide will save time and effort, helping you identify the vital parts of a project and communicate those parts and duties to other team members.
THOUGHTS: This book would be incredibly useful if you were in need a project planning or status tracking device. The whole point of the book is to walk you through the how and why of creating a one-page project manager. I wish I could use this tool in my current project. I like it so much I may make a variation for myself.
The text is a wee bit repetitive, as I think most of the "one-page" is self explanatory, but that does make the book bad. The multiple examples and thorough explanations just show you how good this tool can be.
If you need a device to sell, orient, or prove your project, this is it. You can check it out for yourself (or download an editable copy) on the book's webpage - www.oppmi.com.
RATING: 6/10 [Good]
