Question

Can project management as a specific service be outsourced successfully?

Answer 1

It can and often is. If you are undertaking any tasks eg building a building on an irregular - it makes sense to outsource this for the time you need it so that you are not paying for in-house staff the rest of the time. How successful it is depends on how good your PM firm is -  there are a lot who are c**p.
