The lecturer is fantastic, everything was clear, concise and easy to take notes on. It felt like a lot of details are condensed very well to make this a very informative and knowledge-building course.

I liked this course much more than the capstone course. I found that I actually learned something new. The techniques were practical and logical. The vernacular sounded a bit odd in the context, with expressions like epic and all, but it was helpful. I liked the section about how to prioritize activities and about "shirt sizes" and all.

This Agile Project Management course was rendered in a way I considered pivotal to help participant pursue self development to the highest professional practice with some personal commitment. I find the provision of references for further detail studies very helpful. It has been a worthwhile venture and promises to yield desired reward.

I learn a lot of now stuff regarding the agile methodology and how to implement it. The Demo show some example form the industry practice which helps me understand how to blend agile within the organization. I can conclude Agile practice is not fixed, it can varies within the culcute but most important is following value and principle.

To be honest, I didn't know the importance of agile management before taking this course. As a project manager, I have implemented somewhat agile management into project but still lack of knowledge to manage larger projects.

This course is necessary for anyone who wants to go further in project management. It's a lifelong learning.

The course is very well structured with a good balance of different styles for learning - video clips, reading material or practice. The information shared and the extra resources /links are definitely useful and I have gained a very good understanding of what an Agile framework is and how to use it. Happy to have taken this course!

It is definitely a course that you must take if you want to know more about "agile" and "agile job interview at Google". It was not only an informative but also an extremely practical course. Last but not the least, it also offers you tips on how to land a job in relevant arenas. I indeed and a hundred percent RECOMMEND this course!

The course is a great introduction to the Agile Project Management Framework. I had hard about Agile Project Management many times, but since I took the course I noticed, that most have not really embraced it, allowing me to help others to embrace the values of the Agile Manifesto and bring about improvements to the organization.

It's been a long journey, but indeed very fruitful. I am working as a Project Manager in a software company and already familiar with many aspects of Agile project management, but this course laid a strong foundation for my growth in this career path. Recommended for beginners or anyone in the first five years of their PM career!

Muy bueno, porque es practico en como se abordan los temas y desarrolla los contenidos con la suficiente profundidad, para el público que esta dirigido. Destaco mucho la sección en donde aborda en como ser un Agile coach para implementar la metodología en nuevos proyectos u organizaciones que son ajenos a estas metodologías

Great course. Coming from a design/construction background and looking to pivot post MBA, this is highly educational. Though there is no book, I paired this with the dummies agile project management book. I'd get the book used as there are a few extra tips within the book, that are not mentioned in the course material.

One can underrate this course at their own peril. This is one of the best programmes ever created by google. I recommend this course to anyone willing to acquire, not only the certificate itself, but knowledge also that improves self and the confidence it generates is so immense. Keep up the standard, never drop the ball.

Great course, loved it. Despite of clearing PMP and PSM-1 I found this course very helpful, special thanks to instructor for delivering the material in such an elegant way. The sprint backlog and exercise were very helpful, most courses do not include such exercises and understanding only based on is theory is considered.

Great course. I learnt a lot in this course. (But there were some activities, that needed an instructor's

guidance, because I had a very hard time getting done. Some of them were optional, so I opted out.

And some topics were redundant unnecessarily).

Hopefully I will benefit from it tremendously. Thank you very much

This was a really tough course for me but I learned a great deal. Many of the terms that were used such as Agile, Scrum of Scrum etc. were all new to me so I did not do as well as I would have like. I was able to save and downloads many of the notes, lectures and videos in Google Drive so that I can reference later.

Thank you, Coursera for giving me the opportunity to learn in this course. I've learned a lot about Agile and at the same time, I acquired a lot of strategies for managing and coaching an Agile team. I'm very excited to take this learning into action. Having a self-paced course is also very helpful and efficient.

I learned so much in this course that is helpful for managing projects and life in a VUCA environment. There was A LOT in each of the modules that warrants further thought and learning. However, I feel as though I am ALMOST prepared for an entry level position. In addition, this will help me in my current job.
