"Are corporate IT project managers a commodity?"
With the depressed economy and lagging growth, compounded by commodification of IT systems and services, companies are now often looking for project management specialists that they can “rent” to perform planning, execution, and control of project tasks...

The trend now is to reduce the cost of project management while maintaining basic services. This is impacting those coming into the market as well as those who have been here for a while.
