Muhamad Arief Wicaksono is one of the Anaplan project teams that implement Anaplan in several projects carried out by ED-SEN Consulting. For Arief, participating in the Anaplan certification is a big opportunity to increase his knowledge and insight about Anaplan. 
 
Arief said that he started taking Anaplan certification starting with Level 1 Model Builder. At this stage, Arief said he learned about the basics of Anaplan. “In Level 1 I learned about the basic modules and what features are available in Anaplan.” Said Arif. 
 
Finished Level 1 Model Builder, Arief continued to take Level 2 model builder certification. In Level 2, Arief said that he had started to make formulas for the modules at Level 2. "At Level 1 we complete the modules whose formulas have been provided by Anaplan, but for level 2 we make our own reporting and formulas to complete the modules at level 2," said Arief. 
 
Meanwhile, for level 3 Model Builder, this is specifically for vendors because at Level 3, said Arief, cases are given in the form of user stories like we are working on a project on a client. “In this Model Builder Level 3 certification, we are given a mini-project. In this process,  we are working on a project in a company to complete with the documentation of problems from the company,” said Arief. 
 
In Level 3 Model Builder, Arief said that doing an analysis according to the company's needs through the cases given in a story. "So here we are, meeting with clients who need reports for their companies and all of that is based on stories," said Arief. 
 
For the level of difficulty, for Level 3 Model Builder this feels more difficult than the previous one. In level 3, we are required to know the business process of the company that is the case we are working on. "We have to follow each case that is given properly because all cases at Level 3 are related," said Arief. 
 
From this certification, Arief admitted that the material was very useful in supporting his performance in implementing Anaplan in the project he was working on. One of them is how Arief can understand the client's goals. "Like during user stories, we can ask the points that clients need when we are working on a project," said Arief. 
 
In addition, Arief also added that from this certification he also knows his best practice in building Anaplan according to the methodology in the Anaplan Way. 
 
Arief talked about his hope to be able to share knowledge about Anaplan after he completed this certification. He wants to share all the materials obtained from the certification with colleagues in the Anaplan ED-SEN Consulting project team. "I want to share the knowledge I got in this certification for friends who are new to the ED-SEN Consulting project team so that the team can run with the same knowledge." Said Arif. 
 
The Anaplan certification program itself is a program from ED-SEN Consulting as the official partner of Anaplan in Indonesia. And in this program, the Anaplan project team is required to take certification in order to have in-depth knowledge of Anaplan. This certification also helps simplify the performance of the team that implements Anaplan on the client. In addition, this certification is an eligibility requirement for the project team to implement Anaplan in companies that are clients of ED-SEN Consulting.
