This course exceeded my expectations as I received more knowledge on some topics which I did not expect to be part of Project Management and that is Lean Six Sigma.

All topics/modules are very helpful as a foundation.

I am finding this course to be highly user especially as a person beginning the journey of project management in a web development company with not much deeper understanding of the technicalities of web development.

So far everything is pretty clear. I like the mix of reading, video, and discussions that occur. It is also very digestible into small parts for people who have more or less time to participate in their course load.
