初心者にも学びやすく、飽きさせない内容でした。VideoのTranscriptが非常に役に立ちました。Noteを取れるのも良かったですし、何度でもTranscriptから聴き直せるのが便利でした。インターフェイスも見やすく、操作しやすかったです。実際の仕事でAgileのTerminologyは聞くのですが、それが何を意味するのかが不明だったのが、このコースをとったお陰でよくわかるようになりました。

Agile was a rich course, full of guidance, advice, opportuinties for learning and growth. I so loved that the course included different types of practices, scenarios. From a mock intervieiw to creating documents. The avaialbility of the templates is amazing in the thought that I do not have to create them on my own. Lastly, I appreciated being able to work on Plant Plas, Office Green and Virtual Verde across all of the courses.

Excellent course on Agile Project Management. The learning process was very engaging with a clear presentation, interactive questions, and practice quiz. I am traditional project management professional, and this course helped me understand how to integrate the agile processes in the working environments.

I thank Google for providing a quality learning experience and Coursera for an excellent platform enabling me to access it.

Agile Project Management provided by Google is something I've expected to know from the things I've learn from videos and websites but their approach on teaching and showing more knowledge has allow me to get better understanding of the methodology and its frameworks used in a working environment. Activities are graded by people so that's a plus; highly recommend it to people who have a passion for Agile project management.

Fantastic course !!! I had attempted to understand Agile Project management on my own before -unsuccessfully. This course explained the concepts and thought processes that go into this management style, as well as how to apply Agile in an organization. Also the course spends a significant amount of time with Scrum and what makes up a Scrum team, how that team works through the project process as well as useful tools.

The specializtion is well planned and is an excellent source of information and preparation for becoming a PMP, whether in raditional project management or newer agile frameworks, the specialization does a great job teaching practical knowlege and letting you practice new skills. This course on Agile Project Management in particular had a lot of work associated with it, but its a great intoduction to Agile and Scrum.

Amazing! It's so well designed that learning is inevitable, you can't escape it. Sounds exaggerated? Well, not exactly. My point is, the traditional ways of class-room teaching should evolve and incorporate many methods from these programs. I am going to pick another one very soon, I hope that one will equally be exciting and full of learning. Thanks to Coursera, the instructors and the whole team behind the program.

The Agile Project Management course offered by Google is challenging, but has a lot of information that is useful for those working in and interested in project management. The agile piece is especially important at this time because that is where a lot of companies and organizations are headed when it comes to projects. I would definitely recommend this course for the learning materials and information available.

Agile Project Management Course is not only self paced but essential to understand and even refresh your agile skills with a modern take and deep understanding.

I would have love more interactions and examples. Like a quick live of a retrospective or more tips on ice breakers in a new team.

I did like how detailed the course was and the quizzes that you take to verify knowledge. I highly recommend the course.

Very well prepared and detailed course on Agile Project Management. Instructor was very clear in her approach and made the course enjoyable. I am happy I got the certificate as well at the end of the course. We get to work on projects which really helps in practicing the flow in real life. We also learnt how to work on Asana which is an added plus. Over all great course and I would recommend it. Thanks

Although a very extensive course, the concepts learned can be applied to many roles and industries making it very worthwhile. The instructor was very knowledegable and provided stories from her own experience that reinforced what's being taught in the model.  I knew nothing about Agile management prior to this course and now feel equipped to share an overview of this effective style of project management

Fue una excelente experiencia de aprendizaje. Los tutoriales y el material de estudio permiten incorporar los fundamentos del agile project management en un ambiente interactivo. Me pareció fabulosa la inclusión de la aplicación Asana en la elaboración del backlog y la planificación de los sprint. Fue un excelente curso introductorio para las personas que quieran desempeñarse en este campo.

What a journey!

I've literally enjoyed every single moment on this course and of course i'm going to come back within my career to get more of this treasure.

I remembred the intro video when Sue talked about "aha" moment.. by the end of the course i found myself in that mode.

Greetings to my peers during this wonderful and extremly useful course.

Sue, thank you and stay healthy and inspiring.

Great course! I've taken a few courses on Coursera and this really seemed to be immersive yet easy to follow. I feel like I learned a lot in just a four week course. I had only planned to take the Agile Project Management course since I've already completed other PM courses and have a PMP, but I'm curious to see other Google offerings due to the quality of this course now that I'm done.

The differences between Agile, Scrum, Waterfall, XP and other methodologies are well explained. It is associated both as exemplary projects and as a part of our routine life. Agile and Scrum processes are explained in detail. It has been discussed at length how to apply Agile and how to coach the team. Training has been reinforced with the evaluations and projects included in the course.

I enjoyed this Agile Project Management course. The program allowed me to use a flexible schedule to complete the learning and I did the course remotely. I liked the infographic exercises and the video streaming lectures that were given by Google employees. I would like to thank my employer and Coursera for making it possible for me to complete the Agile Project Management course.

Before undertaking this course, I always felt that no formal training is required for Project Management and rather it's kind of common sense. I tell you that this course has been a real help and I have been able to understand project management and agile methodology like never before. Definitely recommend it to everyone else who wants to get formally trained and grow in career.

Course 5, Agile Project Management, is superb. Agile and SCRUM are covered well without overwhelming. The links provided for additional research provide very useful real world application of the values and principles. By using experience gained in the trenches Sue, the instructor, ties the theory to daily practice. Much appreciated!!!! Thanks for a job well done, Google.

The Agile approach has been like an Archimedes screw for me. It changed my perception of traditional project execution, showing how extraordinary results can be achieved in less time and with less effort. The precise sequence of short and concrete videos, coupled with his readings and reference material are the backbone of the screw! It's worth it! Our tutor? A sweetheart!

Amazing course with some in-depth knowledge of the most complex scenarios faced at the workplace mostly related to team handling and change management. I liked how well described it is in the videos and the small quizzes in between make you confident of how well you have understood the topic. A must-go course for every individual irrespective of their field and background.

This was one of the high light of this program and I am thankful for the team to give this opportunity to learn Agile project Management through this course. I could really learn the differences between water fall & Agile methodologies and the basics.

I really like this course as it is a refresher for me and to get to know other areas I have not thoroughly looked into, like Sprint Retrospective, and also not looked into, like scaling agile. It is a good introduction and would look out for courses related to Agile for further improvements to the existing mix methodologies within the organization I work in.
