Leaders 5.0 Are HUMANITY Personified
Needless to say that the PLC
Course was one of the
toughest challenges I came
across so far, yet will go
down in my life as one of the
most memorable moments. I
would recommend anyone to
follow this deeply
motivational and hopefully
transformational course. My
thanks to the PLC team and
the Chief Instructor.
The PLC is an intensive,
transformational course that
is designed to make you
experience the life of a good
and successful Leader. It
gave me an opportunity for
self-reflection, and made me
realized the value you can
bring in your professional
career and personal life. I
have gained invaluable
knowledge as well as
invaluable advice on keeping
the momentum.
What the
participants are
saying:
Most of the techniques which I learnt are
applicable to day to day life activities too.
Chee Peng pushed me to the edge to bring
out the best of me and realise that I have
much more capability & capacity than
what I assumed I had. Thank you Chee
Peng for being an awesome personal
coach during the course of 5 days. It was
time well spent. I have already gotten 2 of
my directors trained earlier through him. I
am already planning who more I can spare
in next 2-3 months to come and get
trained for PLC. I would recommend the to
change the name of course from PROJECT
LEADERSHIP CERTIFICATION to PERSONAL
LIFE COACHING. Well done Chee Peng.
Keep it up! looking forward to learn more
from you.

The first day something on the slides hit my
eyes which made me question myself, the
eagle, opening his wings and the instructor
said by Friday we shall realize up to what
extent he can fly. Will that really happen, can
that happen to me. I shocked myself on
Friday with my presentation (thought the
instructor had tough comments), I really
impressed myself and discovered my new
limits. Thank you dear instructor for making
us turning our dreams into reality and always
remind us to be thankful to our parents.
Everyday you made me cry with your video
and empower myself knowing that I should
stand up to the expectation of my parent. I
can cry but I cannot fail and make them cry.
I believe this is a training that
one should not hesitate to
attend. It was really great
experience. Well done and
thank you the PLC Team.
What the participants are saying:
The single most intensive,
awakening week of my life. It
brings out the best of those
who dare and believe!

The PLC 5 day course is a real
commando training, truly helping in
developing tomorrow’s leaders. I found
this course very interesting and
contributed largely in enhancing my
capabilities
...the biggest physical/intellectual
challenge I have met in my
professional life so far
Well designed, very focused; a very
useful tool for life
PLC has been very challenging and
enriching for me. It has tested my limits
and shown me that I could go beyond
what I actually expected I can. I loved
the practical part of it which forces us
to think out of the box.

Project Management
What is a Project?
A temporary endeavor undertaken to produce an output such as product, service, improvement or result. It has a
defined timeline with a beginning and end until the project is either completed or terminated.
What is Project Management?
An application of knowledges, processes, skills, tools and techniques to meet the project requirements by utilizing the
project management principles. Depending on the project characteristics, industry, requirements of the stakeholders

can be predictive, agile, hybrid or waterfall.

In 7th Edition PMBOK, there will be a shift from the process-based approach to the principle-based approach.
There will be 12 Project Delivery Principles (Value Delivery System) and 8 Project Performance Domains . The
Value Delivery System will focus on delivering valuable outcomes rather than deliverables. Projects are
fundamental components of the Value Delivery System and principles will guide the Project Managers, Team
Members and stakeholders on how to achieve intended outcomes to deliver value to the organization and
stakeholders. Released in August 2021.

Process Group
Leaders 5.0 Are HUMANITY Personified
S/N Process Group Description
1 Initiating
This is where the project is formally authorized by the sponsor, initial scope defined, and stakeholders identified. Stakeholder identification is crucial here
because correct identification (and subsequent management) of stakeholders can literally make or break the project. These processes are performed so
that projects and programs are not only sanctioned by a sponsoring entity, but also so that projects are aligned with the strategic objectives of the
organization. Where this is not performed, projects may be started and carried out haphazardly, with no real stated goal or objective.
2 Planning
A crucial element of planning is establishing the total scope of the project. While it may appear as though that was accomplished in Initiating, scope (along
with risks, milestones, summary and budget) was defined there at a high level. In planning, the project manager uses an iterative and more detailed
planning technique, called progressive elaboration, which allows project documents to be developed at a much more detailed level over time.
3 Executing
The Executing process group is where the work is actually done. The project management plan will help keep us on track. Here is where the project team
starts doing the work of creating the deliverables while the project manager coordinates those resources. And if that were the only thing that occurred,
that might be enough. But there are several other things that must happen during executing.
4
Monitoring &
Controlling
The Monitoring and Controlling process group is where the project manager assesses the overall performance of the project and makes necessary changes
to keep it on track or to get back on track. What does it encompass? According to PMBOK® Guide, these are "processes required to track, review and
regulate the progress and performance of the project; identify any areas in which changes to the plan are required; and initiate the corresponding
changes.1" The truth is, you can't assume you'll always stay on plan. In fact, it's likely as not that you won't. Monitoring and Controlling is where you get
back on track, where you compare plan to actual, measure variance and take corrective action.
5 Closing
From its name, it should be pretty obvious what happens here. Not only do you formally close the project but you also get sign-off and acceptance from
the customer. While this should be self-evident, too often projects just fizzle out. People stop coming to the meetings and everyone just shows up at the
next one. Best practice dictates that the rigor applied to the rest of the project should be applied here as well. The project manager should formally close
the project by archiving records, holding a lessons learned session, and celebrating and releasing the team. And the lessons learned along with other
historical information should be centrally archived to be used as input to future projects to prevent reinventing the wheel.
