Expert project management

A project manager oversees projects within a company. These professionals are adept change agent comfortable working in a complex, dynamic environment. In addition to strong analytical skills, project managers have excellent people skills, which instil trust and open communication between all stakeholders involved.

When to hire a project manager

Effective project management is essential for ensuring a successful outcome of projects both large and small. However, many businesses still question whether bringing in an external project manager is worth the extra cost. In our experience, the answer to this question is clearly yes for the following reasons.

1) A good PM saves you time

Managing projects can be very time-consuming and difficult to plan. A project manager expertly oversees each and every aspect of a project from start to finish, which means you can go back to focussing on other important day-to-day business tasks.

2) A good PM is both a visionary and a stickler for details

Effective project management requires both “big picture” thinking as well as careful attention to details. Our project managers are meticulous planners who never lose sight of the small-but-still-important details in the life-cycle of a project. However, these professionals also look beyond the scope of the project, which can help you better align and achieve your business goals.

3) A good PM provides sound budgeting

Setting a budget plan for projects is no easy task. Experienced project managers can set budgets which are both cost effective as well as realistic for the project in question. They also have a broad toolkit at their disposal which they use to control and monitor spending to make sure all costs are kept in check.

4) A good PM is a people person who keeps projects on track

Project managers are excellent communicators who keep all stakeholders up-to-date on the progress of the project. They motivate team members, ensuring they collaborate well, but also remain focused on their particular tasks. Therefore, projects run more smoothly and stay on course.

5) A good PM helps companies assess and reduce risk

Project managers are experienced with the many issues and bumps in the road that may come up during a project’s life-cycle. With their guidance, many companies can greatly reduce risk as well as solve any problems that potentially threaten to disrupt or derail the project.

6) A good PM knows your field or domain

Our project managers have more than generic project management experience. These professionals possess expertise in one or more field, which means they can lead with authority and offer strategic insight.
