Excelente curso fue conciso, en cuanto a las metricas más importantes de una empresa, no se extendió mucho en cada una, debe tener un poco de conocimiento de analisis de evaluación de proyectos.

Very impressive. A nice introduction to people with no business background.

It will be better if there is a syllabus for every week declaring what is going to be taught and the aim of doing so.
