Bring in the support your project needs, for the work ahead.
JMB provides flexible project management support in Dubai and across the UAE. We help organizations address capacity gaps, manage defined assignments and maintain delivery during periods of change.
You may need someone to lead an implementation, coordinate suppliers, cover a temporary vacancy or resolve a specific project problem. We agree the responsibilities, deliverables and duration around your requirements.
When additional support makes sense
Your organization may have a capable team but need additional capacity or experience for a particular stage of delivery.
JMB can support you when:
- A new initiative needs a project manager.
- Several projects are competing for the same resources.
- A departure or absence has created a leadership gap.
- An implementation needs closer coordination.
- A supplier transition requires dedicated oversight.
- Your team needs help preparing for a major milestone.
- A specific assignment needs a clear owner and completion date.
We establish the work required and how JMB will fit into your existing delivery arrangements.
Choose the support that fits
Interim project management
Provide continuity while your organization manages a temporary gap or prepares a longer-term appointment.
JMB can take responsibility for agreed project management activities, maintaining plans, coordinating stakeholders and keeping sponsors informed.
An interim engagement can include:
- Reviewing the current delivery position.
- Maintaining schedules and project controls.
- Coordinating internal teams and suppliers.
- Managing risks, issues and dependencies.
- Preparing a structured handover.
On-demand project management
Access support for defined activities or particular delivery stages.
An on-demand engagement can focus on a review, planning exercise, implementation milestone or other agreed requirement.
Examples include:
- Developing a project brief and delivery plan.
- Preparing a steering committee report.
- Reviewing risks and unresolved issues.
- Coordinating a supplier workshop.
- Assessing implementation readiness.
- Planning project closure and handover.
Project management outsourcing
Give an external delivery partner responsibility for an agreed project management scope.
JMB can manage the coordination, reporting and controls surrounding your initiative, working with your organization’s sponsors, teams and appointed suppliers.
The engagement defines:
- The activities JMB will manage.
- The outcomes and deliverables expected.
- Your organization’s approval responsibilities.
- Reporting and escalation arrangements.
- How changes to the scope will be handled.
Fractional project management support
Arrange recurring project management input where a full-time role is not required.
The engagement can cover planning, delivery oversight, stakeholder coordination and sponsor reporting on an agreed schedule. Availability and responsibilities are established around the project’s needs.
Additional delivery capacity
Strengthen an existing project team with support for specific workstreams or coordination activities.
JMB can help maintain project documentation, track actions and dependencies, coordinate stakeholders or support implementation planning.
We agree how the additional support will work with the current project manager and where responsibility for each activity will sit.
Practical support across the project lifecycle

02
During implementation
Coordinate activities, monitor progress and keep risks, dependencies and decisions visible.
03
At critical milestones
Prepare for testing, acceptance, deployment or supplier transitions, with defined responsibilities and readiness criteria.
04
At handover

How an engagement works
01
Define the requirement
We discuss the project, its current stage and the gap you need to address. This establishes whether you need delivery leadership, additional coordination or a specific assignment.
02
Agree responsibilities and availability
We define the scope, deliverables, working arrangements and reporting relationships. You know what support is included and when it will be available.
03
Work within your delivery structure
JMB works with the relevant people, systems and governance arrangements. We establish the information and access needed to carry out the agreed responsibilities.
04
Review and hand over
We review progress against the engagement scope and prepare for completion, extension or transfer to your internal team.
Support across different sectors
JMB’s flexible project support can be applied to technology implementation, healthcare, government programs, smart mobility, retail, and media and entertainment initiatives.
We consider the delivery environment and required capabilities before agreeing the engagement.
Frequently asked questions
Can we engage JMB for a short assignment?
Yes. Support can be scoped around a defined piece of work or project stage. The duration, deliverables and availability are agreed before the engagement begins.
What is an interim project manager?
An interim project manager takes responsibility for agreed project management activities for a defined period. This can provide continuity during a vacancy, transition or time-limited initiative.
What is fractional project management?
Fractional project management provides recurring support for an agreed portion of time or capacity. It can suit an organization that needs regular project oversight without a full-time appointment.
Can JMB work alongside our existing project manager?
Yes. We can support specific activities or workstreams within the existing team. Responsibilities are agreed to keep ownership and reporting clear.
Can you take over an existing project?
Yes, subject to an agreed scope and access to the necessary information. We begin by establishing the delivery position, commitments and outstanding decisions.
Can our support requirements change during the engagement?
Yes. Changes can be reviewed and agreed as the project develops. Any effect on scope, availability, fees or delivery commitments is confirmed before the revised arrangements begin.
How is flexible project support priced?
Fees depend on the responsibilities, duration and working arrangements. The proposal sets out the agreed support, deliverables and commercial terms.
