What is the best way to find good IT project management resources with offshore experience?
I am looking for a Melbourne based project manager with a strong IT/web development background that has managed web site development with offshore resources, India, Russian or elsewhere. I need a part time resources, so looking for someone to contract with us. I am having a hard time finding this sort of resources. Can anyone recommend where to look?

Sandy,
Hi, have you tried contacting the various PMI Regional Chapters for anyone that could fit your needs? That could be a good place to start if you are looking for a PMP Certified Project Manager with either waterfall or agile knowledge.
Try the following url from pmi.org

Hope this helps!

You might want to try a board like E-lance or even another message board like Quora. It's a long shot but searching is free and with E-lance you have protocols in place to protect your fiscal resources and reputation.
Hope this helps.

Hi Sandy.
I am sorry - cannot answer with regards to finding the project management resources, but my answer still is relevant to your question.
Please evaluate carefully whether you want to outsource offshore. It is a beast of a job. I have done it before, and I found it almost impossible to get good results in three different attempts.
I have since went on to hire local developers. We speak the same language, we live in the same business culture, and I can technically assist easier in development situations where we deal with a very complex project. Communicating very difficult requirements to offshore developers was VERY complex for me. Not necessarily because of their skills, but because of timezone differences and communication barriers.
Hope you find what you are looking for!
Kind regards,
