Frequently Asked Questions

Fractional Project Management means you get access to experienced senior-level project managers on a part-time or flexible basis. Instead of hiring a full-time PM, you engage our experts for exactly the hours you need — whether that's a few days a week or ramping up for critical project phases.

Rainmakers can typically start within 1–2 weeks of finalizing the Action Plan. Our experts are ready to integrate into your team quickly and start delivering value from day one.

That depends on you — what do you need? Engagement lengths vary based on your requirements. Some clients engage for 1 month, others for 3–6 month projects, while others maintain ongoing relationships, scaling hours up and down as project demands change. We're flexible and will find the right arrangement.

Our clients typically save 50–70% compared to hiring a full-time senior PM when you factor in salary, benefits, overhead, and other employment costs. You only pay for the hours you need, making it an extremely cost-effective solution.

Our Fractional PMs have diverse experience across technology, media, financial services, retail, health care, manufacturing, and professional services. Whether you're a brand-new startup or a Fortune 500, your PM will have the relevant industry experience your project requires.
