Project management.
We provide dedicated project managers — full-time or part-time — who embed into your team to own sprint planning, delivery cadence, risk management, and stakeholder communication.
What we do.
Our project managers don't just track tickets. They own the delivery — making sure the right things get built, on time, and with full visibility for everyone involved. Every PM at PettersonApps has hands-on experience managing software development teams, not just a certification.
01. Full-time PM
- Dedicated PM embedded in your team 40 hours/week
- Owns the sprint cycle end-to-end — planning, standups, reviews, retrospectives
- Single point of contact for stakeholders, clients, and the dev team
- Best for: active product development with 3+ engineers
02. Part-time PM
- PM working 16–20 hours a week on your project
- Handles sprint planning, weekly status updates, and escalation management
- Keeps the team on track without full-time overhead
- Best for: smaller teams (1–3 engineers), maintenance, or projects with a stable rhythm
03. What every PM covers
- Sprint planning and backlog grooming
- Scope management — change requests, trade-off decisions, scope creep prevention
- Daily standups and async status updates
- Risk identification and mitigation
- Stakeholder reporting — weekly written updates, milestone reviews, demo sessions
- Release planning and deployment coordination
- Cross-team coordination when multiple workstreams run in parallel
- Budget and timeline tracking with transparent burn-down reporting
Who we work with.
Engineering teams without a dedicated PM
Your developers are managing themselves — writing tickets, running standups, talking to stakeholders. It works until it doesn't. You need someone who owns the process so your engineers can focus on engineering.
Companies with a PettersonApps dev team
You've hired a dedicated development team from us and need structured delivery management on top. Our PM integrates into the team from day one — handling sprint cadence, client communication, and release coordination so you don't have to manage the details.
Multi-vendor or distributed projects
You have engineers from multiple companies or time zones working on the same product. You need a PM who can coordinate across teams, resolve blockers between workstreams, and keep everyone aligned on priorities and deadlines.
Projects facing delays and delivery challenges
Deadlines are slipping, scope keeps growing, and nobody has a clear picture of what's left. You need someone to come in, assess the situation, reset expectations, and get the project back on a predictable cadence.
How we work.
Clarity at every step.
01.Process that fits your team
We don't impose a rigid methodology. We adapt Scrum, Kanban, or a hybrid model to what actually works for your team size, product stage, and communication style. The goal is predictable delivery — the framework is a tool, not a religion.
02.Clear project visibility
Weekly written status reports, transparent Jira or Linear boards, and milestone tracking with honest "green/yellow/red" health signals. No surprises. If something is off track, you hear about it the same day — with a plan to fix it, not just a flag.
03.Scope protection
Scope creep is the most common reason projects run late and over budget. Our PMs actively manage change requests — documenting impact on timeline and budget before anything new enters the sprint. Your engineers stay focused on the agreed plan.

FAQ.
Before you ask.
Full-time PM is best for active product development with 3 or more engineers, multiple workstreams, or frequent stakeholder communication. Part-time PM works well for smaller teams (1–3 engineers), projects in maintenance mode, or teams with an established rhythm that need light coordination. Most clients start with full-time during the initial build phase and shift to part-time after the product stabilizes.
Yes. Our PMs adapt to your existing stack — Jira, Linear, Notion, Asana, or any other tool your team already uses. We don't force a migration. If you don't have established processes, we set them up during the first week based on your team size and delivery needs.
A Scrum Master focuses on facilitating the Scrum framework — running ceremonies, removing blockers, and coaching the team on Agile practices. A project manager at PettersonApps does all of that plus owns the full delivery picture: stakeholder communication, scope management, budget tracking, risk mitigation, and release coordination. Our PMs are delivery-focused, not ceremony-focused.
Yes. We offer standalone PM engagements where our project manager embeds into your existing team — whether your engineers are in-house, from another vendor, or a mix. The PM works as your delivery lead regardless of who writes the code.
Typically within 1–2 weeks. The first week includes onboarding — understanding your product, meeting the team, reviewing the backlog, and establishing the delivery cadence. By the end of week two, the PM is running sprint planning and producing the first status report.
