Dear Project Management Community,
Hi everyone, I hope that you are staying home and healthy during these difficult times. In March, at the onset of the Covid-19 outbreak, the chapter managed to organize the 9th Project Management Symposium and Exhibition (Symex) in the city of Semarang. Read about how the event unrolled and what the speakers and participants had to say about the event.
During these times, most of us are working from home and staying connected with our friends, colleagues online. We feature an article on the new trends in online learning, how to complement your “micro-learning” with a “macro-learning”.
We had a chance to interview our Chapter’s General Secretary, Crysanthus Raharjo. You can get to know him in depth, what he does professionally and why he continues to volunteer for more than 7 years now.
On behalf of the board of editors I would like to thank the contributors of this 96th edition and everyone who has supported in the preparation of this newsletter. I hope you enjoy it. I would like to take the opportunity to also wish a contemplative Ramadan to our readers who are observing this holy month.

Dear Project Management Community,
Welcome to the 94th edition of Excellentia. I hope everyone is gearing up for a fantastic year, because we sure are! Early in the year, we had a visit from PMI Asia Pacific Chapter Development. Read what key initiatives we have in the pipeline and why. This January, the Chapter hosted its very first monthly event called PRANKS taking on the topic of “The Misunderstood Agile”.

Numerous agile tools and methodologies are being adopted. Agile projects are being deployed. And six months later when all the hypes have diminished... confusion takes root, disappointments are everywhere, and apathy emerges. Employees begin to say, “we should go back to the old ways of doing things”. Agile transformation fails miserably. This session would outline challenges faced by agile practitioners when running agile projects during corporate transformation. Some ideas on possible solutions would also be discussed.
