I've managed projects (and programmes) of IT work for many years, both as the core of my job and as one of numerous responsibilities. During that time, at various companies, I've used all sorts of formal and informal project management methodologies, including PRINCE 2 and the like. All have their good and bad points. OPPM ("One Page Project Manager") isn't really a complete methodology, nor is it a tutorial on project management per se (that requires training and/or experience... preferably both!). For that reason, I've marked it down one star. Instead, though, it's a powerful project planning and reporting tool which combines most of the essential aspects of a project in one very easy-to-read document. The most compelling thing about it is that it's easy to learn, quick to deploy, and very efficient as a project management resource, needing little maintenance once you've taken time to set up your initial plan correctly (and some careful thought is needed here, for sure). There's nothing revolutionary about the data presented or tracked within OPPM. When you see it on screen or paper, it seems rather obvious. But, everyone that looks at one of my OPPM project plans or reports (they're pretty much the same thing, depending on how you deploy the method) really likes them. So, in my view, this is a really good tool - good enough, in fact, that I consider it by far the best approach where a more long-winded, formal methodology isn't expected or required. However... while those with less project management experience may appreciate the entire book, anyone with a few projects under their belt will most likely find all they need in one or perhaps two chapters (as did I), making the rest seem like "filler". My advice: Don't look at it that way. At the time of wriing, OPPM has saved me several days of effort in my current banking IT project. I was about to say you can't put a price on that, but in fact I can do just that! I own the budget, and the saving has had a direct impact on the project financials (not to mention the timeline!). I can tell you the financial impact is approximately 300 times what I spent on this book (I kid you not)! OPPM is a fantastic tool for any project manager, and - while you may not get value from the whole book - the one or two chapters of pure gold will justify this purchase many, many times over!

This book was created as the advertisement. It doesn't show much and doesn't explain much. However, it's a manual how to use the templates that they are selling on the site that book is advertising.

I recently purchased OPPM on Amazon, I have not been able to put it down since as the book rightly claims 'it is simply common sense on one page' although, it's a bit of being clever after you've been provided with the answer.
However, I'm really, really disappointed about the fact that the templates demonstrated in the book are only available as PDF versions, I would have been prepared to pay a little extra for the book if the excel version templates were included on a CD or download. You can pay again for more templates and excel versions but this seems a little harsh as I'm new to project management and do not have much cash or time to spare! I've just spent the weekend trying to replicate the templates in Excel and it's a little frustrating to say the least! Having said all that I would recommend the book to anyone!
