🎉 Please join us in congratulating our PMI Austin Chapter member who earned the PMI-PMOCP™ certification!

Taiwo Popoola

The PMI-PMOCP™ (Project Management Office Certified Professional) recognizes expertise in building, leading, and optimizing PMOs to drive strategic value and organizational success.

This achievement is especially meaningful because Taiwo is also a dedicated PMI Austin volunteer. Although based in Lagos, Nigeria, he consistently shows up to support our chapter and the project management profession, demonstrating the true spirit of PMI’s global community.

Thank you, Taiwo, for your continued contributions and commitment.

👏 Congratulations on this incredible milestone!

Traditional project management was built around predictability.
Agentic AI changes that equation.

At PMI Austin’s June Chapter Meeting, we’ll explore:

✔️ How AI agent projects differ from traditional delivery
✔️ Why fixed acceptance criteria may no longer work
✔️ How evaluation frameworks help define measurable success
✔️ The evolving role of Project Managers in AI-driven environments

If your organization is exploring AI initiatives, this conversation is highly relevant.
