Normally it is1 on8, but that depends on the job. So make sub levels and combine responsibility's otherwise you will be out of business because of all of your managers

Hi Martin. 

To answer this, i will consider few scenarios. Since, i did not get complete details from your question. 

 

Scenario (1). If this is a construction project with most of the staff on the field + staff on rotational timing shifts - then you may need1 Manager for approx20-25 members. 

 

Scenario (2). If its an IT company working on a complex software project with multiple modules developed within the company - then you may need1 project manager to manage upto3-4 modules and related integration. 

 

Scenario (3). It its an IT company ABC who has outsourced its project to vendors XYZ, then you may have1 PM to manage1-2 vendors apprximately. 

there could be specialized project managers who take care of Vendor / procurement management vitals like - crafting SLA's, evaluating Vendors, deciding on vendors, Termination process, Budgeting and releasing payments process, etc. 

 

Hope this helps. 

Best regards, Ananth
