This is excellent. Brilliant structure and engaging tutors. I am very happy I discovered it and looking forward for certification once I have enough money saved up to pay the fee.

More about Project Management rather than Product ManagementCource is just an overview of the specialization, gives no specific knowledge.Liked the instructors and their motivation.

This course is excellent. It's difficult, but students learn by watching University of Alberta videos and third-party TED talks, as well as by reading interesting and crucial textual materials.
