Our Interim IT Project Managers ensure the success of critical IT projects, take charge of ongoing projects, and bring structure to complex implementations. They stabilize stalled ERP, CRM, and infrastructure projects, create clear roadmaps, and establish binding milestones.
Through focused stakeholder management and transparent oversight procedures, they reduce risks and provide confidence in decision-making. Whether bridging a vacancy, leading a turnaround, or providing an extra boost during periods of rapid change—our IT project managers deliver direction, momentum, and reliable results.
When selecting an IT project manager, you should first look for demonstrable experience with comparable types of projects—such as ERP or CRM implementations, infrastructure and cloud projects, or application consolidations—as well as a clear track record of success in terms of deadlines, quality, and stakeholder satisfaction.
Equally important are methodological strength and governance expertise: A compelling IT project manager can show you concrete examples of project plans, risk registers, testing and cutover strategies, reporting setups, and steering mechanisms that they have developed in previous mandates.
Also look for strong communication skills, the ability to handle conflict, and the capacity to integrate into existing teams; early warning signs include evasive answers to critical project situations, a lack of structure in their approach, or the desire to simply “get started” without a solid setup.
Our experts bring clarity to complex IT projects by refining project objectives, establishing a robust process model, and developing a realistic, prioritized project plan that includes risks, dependencies, and milestones.
Through structured management—such as regular status reports, steering committee reports, risk and issue lists, and decision-making documents—they increase transparency for management and functional areas and ensure that critical issues are addressed early on.
At the same time, our IT project managers apply proven methods from agile and traditional frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban, or PRINCE2, stabilize teams during times of change, and provide you with suitable profiles that match your project’s needs within 24–36 hours of your request.

In the first step, we work with you to clarify your project situation, existing risks, and the desired scope for the IT project manager.

You’ll receive suitable profiles from us very quickly because we draw on a curated expert network and tailor our recommendations to your specific requirements. Typically, within 24–36 hours, we’ll present you with a carefully selected shortlist of profiles that match your industry, technology stack, and project situation. You then decide whom you’d like to interview, and we’ll guide you through the next steps until staffing is completed.
We begin with a focused briefing, during which we work together to clarify project goals, framework conditions, stakeholders, and key technological areas. Based on this, we align your role specification with the experience of our IT project managers and evaluate project-critical aspects such as governance, methodological expertise, and leadership style. You’ll receive only profiles that are a technical, contextual, and cultural fit for your organization and your specific project situation.
The daily rate for our profiles ranges from €900 to €1,450. Where a profile falls within this range depends on project size, span of control, technology environment, and responsibility for budget and deadlines. During the intake, we clarify your needs and suggest profiles that are a good fit both technically and within your budget.
We strive for the highest possible alignment between your use cases and the IT project manager’s previous projects. To do this, we consider the technology stack, project type (e.g., ERP rollout, cloud migration, CRM implementation), company size, and typical stakeholder configurations. In the profiles, we highlight relevant deliverables such as project plans, migration concepts, test strategies, or reporting setups, so you can evaluate the technical fit in a structured way.
In addition to technical skills, we explicitly consider leadership style, communication behavior, and experience in comparable corporate cultures. As part of our selection process, we discuss specific scenarios with IT project managers regarding stakeholder conflicts, decision-making speed, and collaboration with functional areas. This gives you a better picture of how the candidate will fit into your existing team, your decision-making processes, and your corporate culture.
Together with you and the IT project manager, we define clear goals and measurable criteria for the first few weeks right from the start—for example, stabilized milestones, transparency in the risk register, or coordinated reporting. We recommend documenting early deliverables—such as the project plan, communication strategy, steering committee setup, and priority list—and reviewing them regularly. This allows you to quickly see whether the assignment is having the desired effect and, if necessary, where adjustments should be made.
A structured start begins with a clear mandate, access to relevant documentation, and designated points of contact in IT and functional areas. We’ll help you work with the IT project manager to define the kick-off, scope of expectations, decision-making bodies, and reporting frequencies. This ensures a shared understanding of goals, responsibilities, and success criteria from day one.
Many of our IT project managers are very familiar with remote and hybrid setups and combine virtual management with targeted on-site meetings. It’s important that communication channels, decision-making processes, and tools—such as collaboration platforms and project management systems—are clearly defined. During the briefing, we’ll work with you to determine how much physical presence is necessary and which working style best suits your project and your team.
