EMER Partners Pro Bono Pilot Program

A structured 2-Week Checkup + 4-Week Pilot to bring clarity and momentum to your project.

• Our Pro Bono Pilot Program combines a 2-Week Project Checkup with a 4-Week Fractional PM Pilot, with optional Accidental PM Support layered in.

• We are offering this unique opportunity to two or three organizations to create a profile showcasing the benefits of our program.

It’s designed to deliver immediate clarity and measurable improvement - without requiring upfront commitment or budget.

⭐ Tier 1 — 2 Week Project Checkup

Diagnose the project before trying to fix it.

The Checkup provides a clear, objective baseline of your project’s condition.

Week 1 — Discovery & Clarity

• Kickoff conversation

• Document, notes, and transcript review

• Initial RAID+ baseline

• Roadmap reality scan

• Early findings shared

Week 2 — Analysis & Recommendations

• Prioritization of risks and blockers

• Ownership and decision mapping

• Roadmap feasibility assessment

• Tool and communication recommendations

• Final Project Checkup Report

Deliverables:

• Project Health Score

• RAID+ Baseline

• Roadmap Reality Overview

• Top Findings

• 30/60/90-Day Recommendations

⭐ Tier 2 — 4-Week Fractional PM Stabilization Pilot

Hands-on project leadership to implement the Checkup recommendations.

If your project would benefit from immediate structure and progress, you can continue into the 4-Week FPM Pilot (still pro bono).

Week 1 — Stabilize & Structure

• Improve communication and follow-through

• Clarify cross-team responsibilities

Week 3 — Momentum & Correction

Week 4 — Before/After Results

• Re-run project health assessment

• Summary of improvements & remaining risks

Outcomes:
✔ Improved clarity

✔ Reduced overwhelm
✔ Stronger alignment
✔ Documented before/after impact

⭐ Tier 3 — Accidental PM Support

Helping internal PMs succeed with simple tools and routines.

During the 4-week pilot, the Accidental PM can receive:

• A “Lite Mode” workspace

• Weekly check-ins

• Lightweight templates

• Support translating their updates into full PM artifacts

This track reduces overwhelm and improves capability.
