 Very Good Book September 29, 2008
This is very good and practical book. However don't expect it to cover the whole topic of project management. It's focussed on the communication aspect of project management, and does an excellent job on that. It's worth the price.
Good stuff, but one question... August 8, 2008

This is a solid book and an interesting concept. I think it would go far in my organization and would like to implement it.
One question - why does a book about stripping all the info down to one page have to be 160 pages long? ;)
Great Book August 6, 2008
Great book for new project managers. You will learn how to get done more in less time in the field of project management.
 Disappointing project management resource July 28, 2008

I guess I should have known better, but this book was pretty disappointing. Most of the "tips" were too superficial to be actionable or where so obvious that they were a waste of time. For people wanting some depth, try Wysocki's Effective Project Management.
Save your money July 24, 2008

I've worked for 2 Fortune 10 companies and this particular "one page" would have never been accepted at either company. My projects were too complex to fit the WBS/tasks onto one page. Most projects are. If they were simple enough to fit on one page, they wouldn't be assigned a PM. When communicating with execs and project sponsors, they DO want their updates on one page, but not in this format. It's too much detail for them. In the event that you think this particular one page concept will work in your organization, I would still recommend you SAVE YOUR MONEY. The author offers nothing new. He quotes other, more credible, PM authors so often it felt like I was reading a 10th grade research paper. Finally, let's all shed a tear for the trees that had to die in order to make the paper that created Chapter 5: "12 Steps to Constructing the One Pager." It was 45+ pages. The author could have taken his own advice and condensed chapter 5 into one page. But that's not how one sells books, right?
