TOP REVIEWS FROM AGILE PLANNING FOR SOFTWARE PRODUCTS
Very helpful course covering a range of techniques and challenges in agile planning. Some kind of deeper comparison or exercise for PERT vs CPM would have been helpful
Another excellent course from the good folk at University of Alberta. Quizzes are relevant and challenging, and the written assignments are well constructed.
It's a solid addition to get the specialization certificate. I may give it 4.5+ stars, but the course resources are exceptional - its like they wrote their own textbook almost.
This course is an intermediate complex one due to its deepen in project planning.
I recommend to take this course if you want to learn about planning methods and risk management.
