What is a fractional project manager?
A fractional project manager is an experienced PM who runs your projects part-time, for a flat monthly fee, instead of a full-time hire. You get status reviews, a project health dashboard, risk management, and stakeholder support at the level your volume needs, without the cost or commitment of a full-time salary.
Hiring a full-time project manager is a large, fixed commitment. For a startup or small team with real but variable project volume, it is often the wrong move too early. A fractional PM fills the gap: senior PM capability, matched to your current volume, at a predictable monthly cost.
At Fifty1, that is the Fractional PM Retainer. Three tiers match the level of support to your project count, from one project with a monthly review up to four-plus projects with weekly reviews. Every tier is flat-fee, with no hourly surprises.
All engagements are flat-fee, no hourly surprises.
