In this fourth and final course of the specialization, you will synthesize your learning into a Strategic Action Plan. The goals of this course are twofold: One, it’s for you to identify a specific need or problem within the financial services industry that can potentially be solved using blockchain technology. Two, it’s for you to investigate possible solutions to this problem, and to develop a strategic plan for how these solutions might be executed. You will accomplish different project milestones each week, and will be introduced to several tools to organize your findings. Throughout this process, you will hear from real-world practitioners who have hands-on experience in the blockchain ecosystem. Additionally, by participating in this course you will gain access to our Blockchain Case Commons—a crowdsourced collection of blockchain applications and use-cases spanning multiple industries. As an outcome of this course, you will walk away with a consolidated, peer-reviewed Strategic Action Plan, which you can use to pitch your idea to your organization and/or potential investors.

The foundational courses were well structured and challenging. A great stepping stone for learners who wish to go deeper into Blockchain and assume a career working with this emerging technology.

Tough module but the step by step guide is very useful even outside the course

This specialization is a very comprehensive overview about Blockchain/DLT. I highly recommend it for those who want a wide view, so you can engage more effectively in discussions and projects.

Less repeated talk and more practical, hands-on work is required. With real blockchain implementation rather than abstract ideas and principles on slides and quizzes.
3 peer review is not efficient way of grading.
Peer-to-peer review for each week doesn't work well, because there are not enough course participants and without you are not able to finish! It was quiet hard work to prepare all the assignments - DON'T DO THIS COURSE IT IS A WASTE OF TIME!
This specialization is a very comprehensive overview about Blockchain/DLT. I highly recommend it for those who want a wide view, so you can engage more effectively in discussions and projects.
A very didactic approach, current and that will make you want to learn much more about this technology.
It completely exceeded my expectations and brought a lot of knowledge to me.
Very useful course to summarize your understanding of technology after three previous courses of specialization and put it in a realistic action plan with all such project aspects as scope, schedule and budget. Please pay attention that there are now information in the course about standard project scope and budgets for blockchain projects. You have to find an information by yourself. Very challenging course from my point of view. Not very useful without previous courses of specialization or similar experience.
Good Day
I am extremely grateful and thankful for this learning opportunity for Blockchain Specialization .

Very interesting and practical course
Thanks it was great course
good
in my experience its nice and effective course to me and get greater experience with them.
it is good, just a bit outdated.
I like the blockchain related content and the challenge to think of our own use case. However, the tools provided are old and no longer used (WBS, Gantt charts) and not compatible with a modern working environment. Using uploads was sometimes painful. Peer grading does not work properly. Overall, I wish I would submit a case once and someone qualified could review it.
Peer-reviews are fundamentally broken. It took many tries to make it work even though I had excelent work because people randomly choose grades. Meanwhile most of the peers I had to review uploaded empty files.
