Hire project managers
IT project managers and delivery managers for software projects: plans, scope, risks, budgets and weekly reporting across engineering, QA and design, for product companies, agencies and in-house IT teams.
What our project and delivery managers do
Plans and estimates
A release plan in Jira, Azure DevOps or Linear, built from the backlog and the team’s measured throughput, with the assumptions written down and revisited when they change.
Scope and change control
Every change to scope recorded with its cost in time and money and agreed with you before the team starts on it, so the plan and the contract do not drift apart.
Risks and dependencies
A risk register read in every status meeting, with an owner and a next step for each risk, and dependencies on other teams and vendors tracked as dated commitments.
Budget and hours
Spend against budget reported weekly from logged hours, so a forecast overrun is raised while there is still room to change the plan.
Status reporting
A short written status every week: what shipped, what is next, what is blocked and which decisions are waiting on you, in your channel and your format.
Release coordination
Release dates agreed with QA, operations, support and the customer-facing teams, with go or no-go criteria set before the date rather than on it.
Hire project and delivery managers
Full time in your team
Project and delivery managers who work your hours in your tools and meetings and report to your lead, with the Ukrainian contract, payroll and leave on our side.
Part time or fractional
Project and delivery managers for a set number of days a week, when the work is real but not yet a full-time role.
For a project or a launch
Project and delivery managers for a defined stretch of work, from the first week to the handover, with the end date agreed up front.
The dedicated team page explains how specialists join your team, and the outsourcing page covers project delivery, take-overs and how we charge.

Project manager, delivery manager or Scrum master
A project manager owns a defined piece of work with a scope, a budget and a date. A delivery manager owns the flow of a continuing stream of work across one or several teams. A Scrum master owns the team’s process and leaves scope and dates to the product owner. Most teams need one of the three rather than all of them, and we will tell you which yours calls for.
Our project managers run the work in your tracker and report hours from the same records that produce our invoice, so the budget you watch and the bill you pay are one set of numbers.

Questions about hiring project and delivery managers
Can your project manager run our in-house engineers as well?
Yes. A project manager can run a team made of your people, ours or a mix, with one plan, one tracker and one status report for everyone. Line management of your own employees stays with you.
Do your project managers work on agile or fixed-scope projects?
Both. Scrum or Kanban when the scope is expected to move, a phased plan with milestones when a contract fixes scope, date and price, and a hybrid when a fixed release sits inside an agile backlog. The method follows the contract and the work.
What does a project manager need from us in the first week?
Access to your tracker and channels, the brief or contract that defines the work, and an hour with whoever signs off scope. The first deliverable is a written plan with its risks and open questions, so you can correct the picture before work is committed to it.
How quickly can project and delivery managers start?
When the right project manager is available, the start is gated only by your interview and the NDA and IP assignment. Otherwise we run a search, which typically produces candidate profiles within two to three weeks, and nobody starts until you have said yes.
How do we hire project and delivery managers through BigTree108?
Tell us the work, the seniority and the hours you need. We propose one or two people with their profiles, you interview them the way you would interview your own hire, and you sign one agreement with BIG TREE 108 LLC and receive one invoice a month.
Who owns the work they produce?
You do. Every specialist has a signed contract with BigTree108 that assigns all work product to the company, and our agreement with you assigns it onward. Code, designs and documents are delivered into your own repositories and tools, not kept where only we can change them.
Need someone to run the project?
Tell us the project, the team and the deadline. You get an answer within one business day: candidate profiles and a first outline of the plan.
