I help project-driven businesses, founders, startups, agencies, and remote teams who struggle with uncoordinated teams, missed deadlines, scattered project information, absent SOPs, unmanaged tools, and the gap between visionary ideas and structured execution, by offering end-to-end project management, operations setup, stakeholder coordination, Agile/Scrum facilitation, tool implementation (ClickUp, Asana, Jira, Microsoft Project, monday, Notion, Smartsheet), risk management, and clear executive reporting, so they can deliver projects on time and within budget, run operations without constant founder involvement, hold teams accountable, eliminate bottlenecks, and scale with confidence. Over the last 10+ years I've delivered $20M+ in digital, SaaS, and business transformation projects across distributed teams in Africa, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. What I do for SaaS and digital teams: – Set up and run sprint cycles in ClickUp, Jira, or Asana, backlog grooming, sprint planning, standups, retros – Build the workspace itself: ClickUp/Jira from scratch, automations via Make, dashboards leadership actually reads – Translate fuzzy product ideas into clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and BRDs/SRSs engineers can build from – Manage scope, risk, and stakeholder communication so founders and product leads stop being the bottleneck – Keep distributed engineering, design, and QA teams aligned across time zones What clients say: "I had the opportunity to work closely with Langson in developing a project delivery strategy for the MCA-Malawi Compact. This program was complex with numerous stakeholders, activities and requirements. His expert knowledge and practical experience were instrumental in guiding a newly established organization to build a foundation of capacities that typically require decades of institutional learning. Langson’s ability to translate technical expertise into workable solutions made a lasting impression on me and a lot of confidence in the future of project management skills in Lilongwe. " - IPM Client "Langson did a perfect job… followed instructions perfectly and even suggested some better things for my project." — ClickUp setup client "Great to work with and our engagement through the years has always been positive." — Account/Project Manager, multi-year repeat client I also work with multi-stakeholder and donor-funded programs. - I bring deep experience running complex, multi-partner programs, including projects funded by EU, USAID, FCDO, GIZ, AfDB, and Irish Aid. - Most recently, I served as Manager of the Project Management Unit at the Millennium Challenge Account (Malawi), managing the infrastructure/construction and reforms program, and previously coordinated an 8-project portfolio with up to 9 sub-grantees per project at the International Potato Centre, with 99% clean audit compliance. - Defined project scope, KPIs, success metrics, and execution strategy; Managed cross-functional teams (development, marketing, operations, QA); Acted as the primary point of contact for stakeholders and leadership; Identified risks, bottlenecks, and proactively implemented mitigation plans; Drove process improvements and automation for scalability; and Prepared high-level reports, dashboards, and performance insights. - If you need to plan or schedule your project in Microsoft Project (WBS, Baseline, Variation analysis, Critical Path analysis, Earned Value Management, dependencies, etc), or if you're running a donor-funded or research program that needs structured planning, burn-rate dashboards, or PMU/PMO setup, I can help. Credentials: - PMP - PMI-ACP (Agile), - PMI-PMOCP (PMO) - Project Business Professional (PBP) How to start: If you want a quick read on where your delivery is leaking, I offer a 1-week project audit: risks, bottlenecks, and a 30-day plan to fix them. Most clients move into ongoing PM support from there. Click "Invite to Job" or message me with what you are building or delivering, and I will respond within a few hours with specific thoughts on your situation. Cheers, Langson
