Excellent to get to know Agile, Scrum, and related methodologies. Comparison with Waterfall approach, realistic examples, links to external documentation, and many other topics. I recommend it.

Best certification I have ever taken (out of 20 courses or so). Filled with practical assignments and good examples. It is definitely a more time consuming course, but you will actually get your hands dirty with a lot of project management documents & skills.

Excellent. A terrific overview with real world examples. I especially appreciate how the developers of the content bring to light, repeatedly, that project management is always customized to the current endeavor and that hybrids of methodologies are the norm.

Me gustó mucho este curso, los contenidos son muy claros y la instructora es muy buena. Antes del curso tenía algunas nociones generales de metodologías ágiles, pero ahora tengo una visión mucho más clara y los elementos para poner en práctica este enfoque.

I enjoyed this journey very much. It was full of hands-on learning and real-life examples. I think it was more useful than theoretical, which means all participants gained practical skills. I appreciate Google and its team for offering this valuable course.

The course is practical, with a variety of format of interesting assignments. The step-by-step instructions and feedback for each quiz are encouraging. Peer-graded assignments provide appropriate pressure to work seriously plus create a sense of community.

This course was very challenging, yet fulfilled my desire to obtain more advanced skills on Agile/Scrum. I believe I worked harder in this course than in four courses completed prior to this one (5th). The content was engaging and meaningful. Thank you!

Really great overview of Agile project management. I like the holistic approach - sufficient but not overloaded theory, case studies and activities to have a working knowledge of Agile in the market place. Thanks for providing a great learning experience

The Agile PM course was excellent. I work in an Agile environment. I am gaining experience and knowledge along the way of actually doing my role as a project manager. This course was phenomenal with giving an in-depth overview of the Agile framework.

It was an excellent course. I may go through some of it again becasue this was a very different style of project management than I had ever considered before. I did learn a lot throughout it, which I think will help me going foward in my future roles.

Great course that succinctly covers the concepts of Agile and focuses heavily on principles vs process! Gives an appreciation as to why Agile is being used at so many organizations around the world and it's lasting impact on better user experiences.

I feel the course was a good length and touched on so much more than expected. Prior to this course I was intimidated by Agile and after having it broken down and explained, I now welcome the opportunity to use the Agile project management method!

It's a really good course but since I'm taking the whole certification and contents of this course seemed to be very good, valuable and current I believe the ofter 5 courses should have had more material about Agile and Agile frameworks as well.

Treinamento excelente. O curso forneceu uma visão abrangente da gestão ágil e do scrum, apresentando o método com detalhes. Além disso, os testes são interessantes e algumas atividades te fazem pensar bastante o que é ótimo para fixar conceitos.

This course gives you a nice high level look at Agile, Scrum Kanban and Lean. Anyone looking to become an Agile PM or a Scrum Master should look into this course. It's very beneficial and will help you prepare for interview questions as well.

The only problem was to have the peer review completed! I know if you read the instruction properly it should not be a problem, but would be great for the process to be simplified since it seems many users had same problem as me in the Forums>

I was looking for a course that is accessible and covers the basics of agile with a focus on the SCRUM framework to recommend it as an introduction. If you look past the slight "project manager = SCRUM master" bias, this is a great course.
