Part time Project Manager or Full Time Project Manager
Anonymous
I´m trying to explain my client what differences are between contract me as a part time PM versus a full time assignment, but I'm having no arguments for this. Do you? Saving Changes...
In my opinion there is nothing called part time project managers, since PM should and will be 100% responsible for project execution. If your arugment is to oversee the project execution then we might say that PM effort will be some % effort but still PM will be sole responsbile for success or failure of the project.

Bernardo, I fully agree with Anand. As a project manager you will be fully responsible of the success of the project. So, unless you have enough certainity that the project will succeed with a part time PM then the recommendation and "Best Practice" will be to be dedicated to the project as a full time assignation.

Here's my $0.02: If the duration of the job is less than 24 months then hiring someone on a contract basis makes more sense. On the other hand, if the project at hand is greater than 24 months then you may want to look for a PM on a perm basis. Corporations often use 24 months duration criteria as justification for hiring contractor and perm PMs. There may be other factors that impact this decision such as headcount, long-term outlook, and immediate business need.
