Project Management Office Hours

Listen to Billy S Mwape share his fascinating story and the exciting news of the birth of his new son! Billy joined us from Zambia as our first guest in 2021 and our first guest joining from Africa. He shares the Zambia culture, challenges he pushed through in 2020 and the exciting future he is building.
Billy was a featured speaker in the TED@PMI event in 2020 and he shared the experience with us. As parents we know that it is a hard job but it is especially challenging with a child with special needs. Billy shares how he and his family used the concepts and tools he has learned from Agile to help with his special needs child.

2020 was a challenging year but Billy helped to stand up a new PMI chapter, PMI Zambia during the global pandemic. The chapter founders had to establish the chapter remotely working to build membership and value to the Project Management community in Zambia. Billy also shared he is building a music based Project Management Master Class. The class will preach unity and leadership bringing PMs together through the rhythms of music.
