Freelance IT project manager in Cameroon
You have developers or a vendor, but no one owns the rhythm, the risks and the communication with stakeholders? I step in as a technical delivery lead, part time or on a specific engagement.
When to bring in a freelance IT project manager
- Your project is running late and no one is sure why.
- Developers are making progress, but business needs keep changing.
- Management lacks visibility on progress, costs and risks.
- You are starting a project and want to scope it properly before spending.
What I take on
- Planning and sprints: breaking work down, priorities, a tracking board everyone can see.
- Scope control: what is included, what is not, and how to handle requests that arrive along the way.
- Risk management: a register kept up to date, with an owner and a status for each risk.
- Stakeholder communication: clear reporting for management, regular check-ins with the team.
- Unblocking: I deal with obstacles before they stop delivery.
Training and method
I hold a Bachelor of Technology in Project Management and I am completing an MBA in Project Management. I work in Agile and Scrum, with a software engineering background: I understand what developers say, which lets me ask the right questions and spot problems early.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an IT project manager and a product owner?
The project manager runs the schedule, scope, risks and communication. The product owner decides what gets built and in what order, from the user's point of view. I can take either role, or both on a small project.
Can you work with a team or vendor already in place?
Yes, it is one of the most common cases. I organise the work around what exists: rituals, a tracking board, priorities, and a clear status update for management.
What does an engagement look like?
Either a defined engagement with a goal and a duration, or part-time support. Scope and rhythm are set in the quote after a first call.
What reports will I receive?
A regular progress update covering what is done, what is blocked and the risks in play, plus a decision log. You always know where the project stands without having to ask.
