This PMP try-out simulation is suitable for those who pursue PMP/CAPM exam in nearest future.

By attending this exam prep, you can assess yourself whether you are ready to take the most prestigious certifications in the area of project management.

The Project Management Professional (PMP)® is the most important globally-recognized and independently validated credential for project managers, perfect if you have demonstrated experience and competence in leading project teams. However, it is also considered as one of the most difficult certifications one can obtain; it requires well-sound study plan, self-commitment and resilience. Let alone, the advance English in which PMBoK is written, making PMBoK a “heavy-duty” reading and may lead to a risk of misinterpretation of the meaning(Project Management Body of Knowledge, aka “PMBoK” is the main resources of the PMP exam structure).

To assist PMP/CAPM pursuant (both applying or thinking to apply), PMI Indonesia Chapter has been running a program called PMP/CAPM Exam Prep since 2010, assisting thousands of PMP (and CAPM) candidates to understand better about PMP/CAPM, its procedure, its structure and have a chance to meet our mentor volunteers who shall assist you in study plan.

This session is actually similar to PMP Try-out and tutorial. This 3-hours session is held bi-monthly and designed for those who want to pursue PMP and wish to assess his/her knowledge on the subject. Also candidates can ask all information related to PMP exam, including the exam success tips.

Meet our 2^nd Keynote Speaker – Indrawan Nugroho

Nowadays, corporations are eager to embrace agile transformation. Everywhere around the world, phrases such as tribes, squads, sprints, and iterative process become management catchphrases that separate executives who are ready for the future and those who will get left behind. 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.

Indrawan is a Business Innovation Consultant, founder and CEO of Corporate Innovation Asia (CIAS) with mission is to help corporation design and implement innovation to drive business performance.

Among many of his social innovation initiatives, is the Local Genius Program. It is a continuing program which scout, recruit and develop talented individuals from many regions of Indonesia and then equip them with necessary support and infrastructure on a mission to empower local communities. For this initiative, Indra received the World Game Prestigious Award for the Most Impactful Program from Ericsson International.

Indrawan is also an Agile Certified Professional in Coaching Agile Transition from International Consortium of Agile. One of his concern about Agile is challenges in Agile Transformation in Project Management Perspective.

Dear Project Management Community,

Welcome to a special edition of Excellentia. October marks an important milestone as PMI celebrates its 50^thanniversary and our chapter its 23^rd. May the PMI journey continue to bring value for its members and beyond. The Annual Member Gathering this year is a very unique one, a cooking contest with a project management twist – like you have not seen before. The event was closed with an anniversary celebration gala dinner. A night of laughter, appreciation and friendship. In case you missed the event, we have covered the full day in this feature, see if you can spot yourself or fellow members in the photo section.

We feature also two activities carried out by our branches. Our friends in Surabaya held their first project management gathering, and Yogyakarta held their annual Project Management Challenge which attracted 24 teams to participate in the prestigious event.

Still in line with the 50^th anniversary, we feature an article from the PMI HQ on the significance of this milestone, and we also feature an interesting article on how Netflix instills the company values in its employees using their “culture code”.

On behalf of the board of editors I would like to thank the contributors of this edition and everyone who has supported in the preparation of this newsletter. And again, we wish you a very happy anniversary!
