Engagement models

Pick the shape that fits

Project-based

Fixed scope · Fixed outcome

One initiative with a clear deliverable. Quoted as a fixed-fee engagement after a 1-week scoping period. Best for time-boxed launches, integrations, or rebuilds.

Typical length: 2–6 months

Retainer

Recurring · Defined hours

Monthly retainer for ongoing PM support across a portfolio of initiatives. Fixed hours per month, prioritised against your roadmap. Best for sustained delivery support without an FTE hire.

Fractional PMO

Strategic · Programme-level

I run your PMO function 2–3 days a week. Includes governance, methodology, team coaching, and cross-program coordination. Best for companies between "first PM" and "full PMO team".
