Frequently asked questions
What's a typical PM allocation for a small team?
For a small team with light governance, 15-25% of a full-time PM role is common.
Can one PM manage multiple small projects?
Yes — this estimate reflects allocation for one project; a fractional PM can split time across several.
Does this include product management (roadmap, strategy)?
It reflects delivery-focused PM/PO work; strategic product management may need separate budgeting.
