A Capstone Project is an assignment designed specifically to apply and showcase the skills you learned in the Specialization. To this end, the Business Strategy Capstone Project, a comprehensive Strategic Analysis, provides an opportunity for you to synthesize concepts and knowledge from the four prerequisite courses in the specialization. In this course, developed at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia, you will be guided through your project by top-ranked faculty. You may continue with the organization you selected for previous assignments or select a new organization for this project. You will analyze the current state of the organization, strategic issues facing the organization, strategic paths the organization might pursue, make a recommendation of the best path for the organization to pursue, and write an Executive Summary. Your finished project will serve as an artifact showcasing your ability to conduct research on/within an organization, select and apply the most appropriate analytical tools, build a well-supported case for a specific position, and effectively communicate key points with executive leadership.

TOP REVIEWS FROM BUSINESS STRATEGY IN PRACTICE (PROJECT-CENTERED COURSE)
A Must-take course once you have finished all the Fundamental courses. It will test how much you have actually learned and put them into a cogent and concise Strategic Paper.
It is a good exercise to recap the other courses, however the need to complete peer reviews put unnecessary pressure.
This is a very good course for professionals of all backgrounds to deepen their business knowledge and an eye opener for those of us with technical background
Very good courses in 5 while step by step connect the dots and experience, I strongly recommend this series and courses.
