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.

So interesant! It was a lot of information, and I like the introduction of Asana and Jira. Still, I have a little recommendation, It was too much for only 4 weeks. Maybe one or two weeks more?. But I really love it.

Worthwhile investment of time and money. The tools, techniques and references are useful for quick application in the real world. There is enough space (through additional reading) for self-discovery. Honest course.

I learned so much about the Agile philosophy and process during this course. Each topic was broken down clearly and well explained. The added benefit of job search information made this a course well worth taking.

Great course. If you have been doing a lot of projects but have not learned all the other PM techniques, this certification program is for you. For me a bit of steep learning curve, OTH challenge is good. Worth it!

I learned lots of things through this course! Agile is not just a method, but it's a mindset that contains its values and principles to move forward not only in project managements but also in everyday life too!

This sufficiently provides an introduction to the Agile concept.

The detailing can be further achieved by looking into details especially designed for Agile and related system. This would be Scrum in particular!

Learning about Agile and Scrum has been my favorite course of all within Coursera. I think it should be made into it's own speciality because there is so much to learn from all the umbrella Agile practices.

As hoped by the instructor in the bginning of the course, this course gave me the "AHA" moment several times. Getting this exposure to Agile was mind opening to something very useful and was unaware of.

Very good topic coverage, am doing my MBA in Technology at a good Australian University, and this improves on the syllabus taught in the Project Management module - a lot of relevant materials. Thank you
