What We Mean When We Say PM as a Service

January 10, 2024 | by Jeannette Cabanis-Brewin

Today’s publication release from PM Solutions gives you a deep dive into the way we practice Project Management as a Service (PMaaS). Describing a timeline of the process and giving some background on the personnel we deploy, this paper above all focuses on the important concept of partnership as central to a PMaaS engagement.

While much of the literature we see online about PMaaS characterizes this flavor of project management consulting as “outsourcing,” PM Solutions VP, Client Success, Eric Foss sees things differently. “When you have numerous project and program managers working in partnership with the directors of functional areas within an organization,” he says, “knowledge management, sharing of insights, and continuous learning are a natural outcome. Having one provider looking across the entirety of the program leads to more than just cost savings.”
