Frequently Asked Questions

How does subcontracted PM support work?
We assign a dedicated project manager who integrates directly into your team. They attend your meetings, use your tools, and manage your projects as if they were a full-time employee, without the overhead.
What types of projects do you manage?
Everything from internal initiatives and system migrations to product launches, team restructuring, event coordination, and ongoing operational workflows. If it has a timeline and deliverables, we manage it.
How quickly can you start?
Most engagements begin within one week of signing. We onboard quickly, learn your tools and team, and start managing projects right away.
Do we need to provide tools and access?
We work inside whatever tools your team already uses: ClickUp, Asana, Slack, Google Workspace, Teams, and more. We adapt to your stack, not the other way around.
What is the minimum engagement?
We offer monthly retainers starting at 20 hours per month. Engagements can scale up for larger initiatives or scale down during quieter periods.
