Manage any IT project—on a single sheet of paper!
In The One-Page Project Manager, Clark Campbell showed managers how to reduce any project—no matter how big or complicated—to a simple, one-page document perfect for expressing essential details, communicating those details to upper management, and tracking progress. Now, this uncommonly practical guide offers the same concise thinking and practical guidance to IT project managers. Fully adaptable to virtually any project in your organization, The One-Page Project Manager for IT Projects is the ultimate tool for overworked IT managers who understand the value of simplicity.

“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.”
—Frank Luby, author and Partner, Simon-Kucher & Partners
