Bil Biry Mohammad : Anaplan Certification Assist the Project Team in Anaplan Implementation

For Bil Biry Mohammad Anaplan is not a new thing. He was once part of the ED-SEN Consulting project team who worked on several Anaplan projects in companies that were clients of ED-SEN Consulting. 

For this reason, when taking the Anaplan certification for Level 1 and Level 2, Bil admitted that it was not so difficult to do it. Bil said that level 1 is not too technical and there are many case studies and basic knowledge about Anaplan. "In Level 1, we learn what Anaplan is, what Anaplan's best practice is," said Bil, who is currently a member of the Power BI project team at ED-SEN Consulting. 

Bil explained that for level 1 Anaplan certification, there is only an exam at the end of the material. However, for level 1, the material is not as technical as when he entered Level 2. "Level 1 is only a basic introduction to Anaplan," said Bil. 

While at Level 2, Bil admits that the level of difficulty is more than Level 1. At Level 2, according to Bil, there are many case studies encountered. “At level 1 we are still being guided, the step-by-step is clear. Now for Level 2, we are required to find a formula and perform an analysis by Anaplan,” said Bil. 

For Level 1 and Level 2, according to Bil, they are also interrelated as all the material we learn at level 1 will be continued at level 2. Bil added, for Level 2, the exams are per chapter. There are 3 chapters that we have to do and finally, we have a conclusion test whose material comes from Level 1 and Level 2. 

After completing  Level 2, lastly, just take the Anaplan Way. In this Anaplan Way there are no exams and only contains quizzes. This Anaplan Way contains training related to our preparation if we want to implement Anaplan in the project. "The Anaplan Way is a kind of methodology, what if we were in a project implementing Anaplan, what would it look like in terms of project management." said Bil.

Bil said, if we have experience in implementing Anaplan on clients, this Anaplan Way is a kind of best practice for us to implement Anaplan on projects. 

In addition to taking the certification for Level 1 and Level 2, Bil who has experience implementing Anaplan in several ED-SEN Consulting projects also provides training for his teammates in the project. 

In this training, Bil shared his experience on how to implement Anaplan in the project. “So I gave best practice on how to implement Anaplan in the Project. Because the case that we get in the certification is not necessarily the same as the case when we implemented Anaplan in the project,” said Bil. 
​
The Anaplan certification program itself is a program from ED-SEN Consulting as the official partner of Anaplan in Indonesia. In this program, the Anaplan project team is required to take the certification to have in-depth knowledge of Anaplan. This certification also helps facilitate the performance of the team that implements Anaplan on the client. In addition, so that the certified Anaplan project team has the feasibility to implement Anaplan in companies that are clients of ED-SEN Consulting. ​
