TOP REVIEWS FROM PROJECT MANAGEMENT: THE BASICS FOR SUCCESS
by JGMar 27, 2018
Very informative and interesting. Lots of useful tools. What I liked in this course was that there were lots of examples given on how to act when something does not go as planned or if issues arrise.

Por se tratar de um curso básico, achei que atende bem ao que se propõe.
Apenas acho que poderia haver um pouco mais de dinamismo nas aulas (slide mais dinâmicos), pois no final se torna cansativo.
