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 a retainer: an ongoing add-on to any engagement, custom-scoped to your team, from $3,000 a month with a 3-month minimum. Flat-fee, with no hourly surprises.
All engagements are flat-fee, no hourly surprises.
