## Shipping stalls without an owner
Most delayed projects do not fail on engineering. They fail in the space between people: unclear priorities, silent scope creep, decisions waiting on nobody in particular. The team is busy, but the product is not moving.

A dedicated project manager closes that gap. One person owns the plan, sequences the work, and keeps every stakeholder honest about what "on track" actually means.

## Embedded, accountable, visible
Your PM runs your cadence in your tools: sprint planning, standups, backlog grooming, and a written status rhythm your leadership can actually read. No parallel process, no black box.

They escalate early and in writing. Risks get a register, decisions get an owner and a date, and scope changes get priced before they are accepted, not discovered after.

## What they own
- **Delivery planning**: Roadmaps broken into sprints with dependencies mapped and a critical path everyone can see.
- **Scope control**: Change requests captured, priced, and sequenced deliberately instead of absorbed silently.
- **Stakeholder communication**: A written status cadence: what shipped, what slipped, what needs a decision, and by when.
- **Risk management**: A living risk register with owners and mitigations, raised before risks become incidents.

## Stack
- **Delivery practice:** Scrum, Kanban, Sprint planning, Roadmapping
- **Tooling:** Jira, Linear, Notion, ClickUp, monday.com
- **Reporting:** Status cadences, Risk registers, Burndown, Decision logs

## FAQ
**How much does it cost to hire a project manager?**

A dedicated project manager from Sentient Arc costs $15–35 per hour, with the exact rate set by project complexity and seniority. A free consultation scopes the engagement before you commit.

**Can I hire a project manager for a short-term project?**

Yes. Engagements run from a few weeks of delivery rescue to long-term embedded roles, and the hourly model means you only pay for the time you actually use.

**Do they work in our existing tools and process?**

Yes. Your PM runs your cadence inside your Jira, Linear, Notion, or ClickUp setup rather than imposing a parallel process, and tightens the process only where delivery is leaking.

**How quickly can a project manager start?**

Typically within a week of the scoping call: we match a PM to your domain and stack and agree on the cadence, and the PM takes over the delivery plan in the first sprint.
