A project manager is typically one who develop skills, knowledge, and experience through years of hard work. when he or she goes extra to becoming a consultant just as many settle for just the jobs. A project manager can offer that hard-won experience and skill to others through proper training and consultation services. Consultants are in charge of scheduling their own time and setting their own rates just as they can choose to only take work that interests them.

It is figurative that when a project manager switches from full-time employment to starting a consulting practice, he’s saying goodbye to the predictability, routine, and safety of a regular job. He ventures out on his own, into unknown territory. 

 


Project managers have a unique advantage over other types of consultants who are building a practice they know how to break down a large project into manageable components and follow through to execution. Project managers can launch a consulting practice using familiar tools. A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (Project Management Institute, 2000) lists the processes that are key to building a successful consulting practice.

  3. Genuine client relationship management;
