Why hire a freelance project management consultant?

Good project management is a system, not just a person. A freelance project management consultant brings experience of what works across organizations, and can assess your delivery, set up governance and tools, and build capability.

‍

Freelancers also give you flexibility. Bring one in for a delivery review, a PMO setup, a methodology change, a project rescue or coaching for your project managers, then step back as your team takes over. They give an independent view.

One directory for every project management consultant

Keep every project management consultant you work with, whether you found them on YunoJuno or brought them with you, in one searchable directory.

Compliant and vetted

Every engagement is assessed for worker status, backed by misclassification indemnification.

Keep up with payments

Pay freelancers and contractors in 165+ countries from one supplier, with tax deducted at source where required.

What does a freelance project management consultant do?

A freelance project management consultant advises organizations on how to deliver projects better, on a project or contract basis.

Typical responsibilities include:

Assessing delivery practices, maturity and performance.
Designing project management methods, templates and governance.
Setting up or improving a project management office (PMO).
Selecting and configuring project and portfolio tools.
Recovering and stabilizing troubled projects.
Setting up reporting, risk and benefits tracking.
Coaching and training project managers and sponsors.
Supporting change to Agile or hybrid delivery.

Frequently asked questions

Hire a freelance project management consultant when projects keep missing time or budget, when you're setting up a PMO or new methodology, or when a project needs an independent review. They're also useful for rescue work, tool selection and training.

Project management consultants vary by focus and sector. Some specialize in PMO design and governance, others in Agile transformation, project recovery, portfolio management or tooling. Some advise only, others also deliver. If you need someone to run a project, consider a project manager, and a program manager suits coordinating related projects. For Agile coaching, an agile coach may fit. Match their experience to your sector and the problem to fix.

Look for a mix of advisory and delivery skills:

  • Senior project, program or PMO experience
  • Knowledge of methods such as PRINCE2, PMI, Agile and hybrid
  • Experience setting up governance and PMOs
  • Project recovery and risk management
  • Tool selection and setup experience
  • Coaching and training ability
  • Sector experience relevant to your work
  • Clear, credible communication with executives

Useful questions to ask before you book:

  1. Which organizations have you advised, and what changed?
  2. How would you assess how we deliver projects today?
  3. How do you set up governance and a PMO?
  4. How do you recover a troubled project?
  5. Which tools and methods do you recommend, and why?
  6. How do you coach project managers?
  7. Are you advising only, or also delivering?
  8. How do you measure improvement?

The cost of a freelance project management consultant depends mainly on seniority, specialty and sector experience, whether the work is advisory or hands-on, the scope of the engagement, and location. Freelancers set their own day rates, which you can see on their YunoJuno profile before you make contact.

For benchmarks, see YunoJuno's Contractor Rates Report, built from rates data on projects booked through the platform. For what it costs to use YunoJuno itself, see the pricing page.
