Project management is the use of skills, processes, methods, knowledge, and experience to meet objectives within agreed-upon parameters while adhering to project criteria -- Project managers must work out particular deadlines and communication methods that are convenient for both the customer and the outsourced team. They should have the flexibility and agility to work in every situation and with customers from all over the world. 

The majority of outsourcing in the past has been in the IT sector, with a big portion of it being for project-based work. For these projects, project management was an important component that was included in the vendor’s or service provider’s scope of work.

If certification is required, there is no need for a list of benefits and drawbacks; either get a certified consultant or don’t execute the job. And, even if certification isn’t needed, outsourcing to someone who is certified may wind up saving you money in the long run.
