	What is good project management? Some will say that good project management is when the project is done on time and on budget and has the ability to communicate project performance (scopes, timeliness and planned versus actual resources) and expectations to team members and stakeholders. To do a project well, a project manager is necessary. But the project manager cannot do everything on their own, he or she needs to have corporation from the team. To get the team onboard and understanding the project different aspect from the start different tools can be used. One of these tools is the; One Page Project Management (OPPM). OPPM is founded by Clark A. Campbell, he holds a BS in Chemical Engineering and MBA and a PH.D. in Business Administration <ref name=''oppm.com''> One-Page. ''Clark & Mick Campbell. '' [ONLINE] Available at: ''https://oppmi.com/aboutAuthor.cfm'', [Accessed 02 March 2019] </ref> . OPPM is a visualization tool on one single page (Figure 1). The OPPM helps the project manager communicate sufficiently to the team, so the project gets tangible for everyone. The OPPM is also an advantage when keeping different stakeholders informed, because the tool is easy to understand and because it can be maintained through the progress of the project.

	So a short and very hard conclusion of the OPPM could be that is gives a good overview and can lead to a good communication between the team members in the process. But the OPPM can only be used as a tool to either the PMBOK or the PRINCE2, it cannot stand alone, because of the missing considerations for instance about stakeholder, business case and previous lessons learned. But one pagers as OPPM and as the one-pager shown in Figure 4 is widely used in the industry for given overviews.

	When taking OPPM into use in a pharmaceutical company/pharmaceutical industry, it can be seen that OPPM can be a very useful tool because it can give the different team members a quick overview of the project goal. This can in a big pharmaceutical company/pharmaceutical industry be an advantage because team members often are in different project, with different scopes and deadlines. An example from a pharmaceutical company/pharmaceutical industry is the one-pager seen in Figure 4. This one-pager gives a super short and accurate overview of four factors from the project. The first thing a description of the purpose, then a scope, a list of deliverables and deadlines and a last an organization description. This one-pager can only give an overview of the project, but cannot standalone as much as the OPPM can. The way of dividing the organization is much like the agile project management, which as a head has the product owner, which here is the steering group, then we have the scrum master which here is the project manager, and then we have the team.

	The agile OPPM is best used in project with less complexity. This means that the project is straightforward, when you have projects that repeats, when a project ~~that~~ has clear-cut steps and when the task is lack ambiguity. OPPM does not work that well on software projects, product revisions or long-term complex projects. <ref name=''kilde1''> Bright Hub PM. ''One-Page Project Management: Timming Project Fat.''

			As reflected upon earlier it can also be assessed that the OPPM will save time, because the product owner, scrum master and team save time, because a baseline on the different steps and concerns in the project is found and visualized from the start of the project. One of the big advantages with the OPPM is its perfect way to produce the project status report ongoing the project. When remembering this, it is also necessary to say that the tool is not a replacement of different tools a project manager is already familiar with, and there is nothing new about the OPPM. The essentials about this tool is how a project can be visualized in a good and simple way.

	As already mentioned regarding the agile project management, the team and the communication around and between the team members is very important and necessary for this tool to work as intended. The OPPM is a team effect, which means that the team members consist as the task owners.

	When comparing the OPPM with the PRINCE2 it can, as for the PMBOK, be seen that the principles are somewhat the same. In the PRINCE2 the project need to consider the business case, the progress, the organization, the quality, the plans, the risk and the change. For the project to be a PRINCE2, the project need to fulfill all these principles. <ref name="prince2"> '''''Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2''''' </ref> When looking at the improvement when starting a PRINCE2 project, the first thing to do is to make a project mandate, then an appointment of the executive and project managers needs to be done, a preparation of the outline business case, a discussion of previous projects and which lessens was learned, a design and appoint the project management team, select the project approach and assemble the project brief, and the plan the initiation stage. <ref name="prince2"/> In all these steps there is a lot of things to decide and consider. When comparing to the OPPM one thing the OPPM does not take into consideration is previous project, and the lessons learned from these. This was eventually a process which could be done before the OPPM together with the definitions of the stakeholders and business case.

When comparing the OPPM with the PRINCE2 it can, as for the PMBOK, be seen that the principles are somewhat the same. In the PRINCE2 the project need to consider the business case, the progress, the organization, the quality, the plans, the risk and the change.

			So a short and very hard conclusion of the OPPM could be that is gives a good overview and can lead to a good communication between the team members in the process. But the OPPM can only be used as a tool to either the PMBOK or the PRINCE2, it cannot stand alone, because of the missing considerations for instance about stakeholder, business case and previous lessons learned. But one pagers as OPPM and as the one-pager shown above is widely used in the industry for given overviews.

	When taking OPPM into use in a pharmaceutical company/pharmaceutical industry, it can be seen that OPPM can be a very useful tool because it can give the different team members a quick overview of the project goal. This can in a big pharmaceutical company/pharmaceutical industry be an advantage because team members often are in different project, with different scopes and deadlines. An example from a pharmaceutical company/pharmaceutical industry is the one-pager seen in Figure 4. This one-pager gives a super short and accurate overview of four factors from the project. The first thing a description of the purpose, then a scope, a list of deliverables and deadlines and a last an organization description. This one-pager can only give an overview of the project, but cannot standalone as much as the OPPM can. The way of dividing the organization is much like the agile project management, which as a head has the product owner, which here is the steering group, then we have the scrum master which here is the project manager, and then we have the team.
