Dr. Alfred Ang is a PMP-certified project manager and a certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt who combines formal project management discipline with hands-on delivery experience. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the National University of Singapore, an MSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from NTU and a BSc (Hons) in Physics from NUS, and spent more than 20 years in the defence, electronics and semiconductor industries, where he co-invented more than 20 US patents and published more than 20 peer-reviewed papers. Today he is the Chief Technology Officer of Tertiary Infotech Academy and founded Tertiary Infotech Sdn. Bhd. in Malaysia in 2016. As CTO he leads the planning, delivery and continuous release of the course-registration and learning management platform behind the Tertiary Courses websites in Singapore, Malaysia and Ghana, coordinating developers, trainers and operations staff across three countries.

A Distinguished Toastmaster who has won many public speaking awards, he explains structured methods in a clear, engaging way and keeps every session practical.
In the Microsoft Planner Masterclass, Dr. Ang shows how a lightweight tool can carry sound project management practice. Learners start with Microsoft Planner and its Microsoft 365 integration, then create plans, buckets and tasks, schedule work in the Board, Grid, Schedule and Timeline views, set task dependencies, assign resources and track progress, and finish with collaboration, reporting and best practices. As a PMP-certified project manager he explains how to turn a work breakdown structure and schedule into a well-organised plan, and how to keep the team and stakeholders aligned, so learners leave able to run their own projects in Planner with confidence.

An Electrical Engineering graduate of the National University of Singapore and an ACTA-certified adult trainer, he brings the practical side of delivery, from managing vendors and site teams to keeping clients informed, into the classroom.
On this course, Truman complements the syllabus with real examples from the infrastructure projects he has led: defining scope with clients, building schedules around vendor lead times and site access, managing risks and change requests, and reporting progress to sponsors.
