Shadow Project Management Services

What is Shadow Project Management?

A "shadow" project manager works side-by-side with the leader of your project. The shadow project manager ensures that the project is carried out using professional project management processes and tools. This person is a behind-the-scenes "driver" of the project. A shadow project manager can benefit your organization because they are able to devote themselves full-time to managing the project, whereas your internal resource has other duties and responsibilities in the organization to carry out. In certain software implementation projects, the shadow project manager also acts as a third party advocate to help your organization deal with the software vendor.

Cornelius & Associates specializes in providing shadow project management services. Our goal is to provide the level of support services you need to ensure that your project will be successful. We bring the resources of our organization to help guide, direct, provide project management support, project scheduling support, leadership development support, facilitation, change management, and teamwork development support, as needed, for the life of your project.
