Art of Project Management. In Conversation with Dr. Vijayapala

Project management can be viewed as an art that everyone can experience in their day-to-day life. From making a cup of tea to building huge projects, the activities related to project management have always been there. It is not only in the professional aspect but project management plays a vital role when it comes to personal life as well. With an experience of more than 25 years of professional project management, Dr. Vijayapala shares his insights in this interview hosted by Er. Saurya Paudel.

Through this interview, he talks about his journey regarding project management, how he dealt with uncertainties, and how we can incorporate project management into our daily lives. Later in the interview, he talks about dealing with the contemporary issues in project management through his perspective. He also shared his experience working in diverse roles and bridging the gap with public and private partnerships(PPP). When the interviewer asked about different models of project management, he shares the importance of contextual scenarios and the use of these models on that basis. The inclusion of project management in most of the MBA programs was something he appreciated as it would not only help aspiring project managers but everyone through their academic journey as well as professional life. We are very grateful for the opportunity Dr. Vijayapala has given us during his visit to Nepal.
