初心者にも学びやすく、飽きさせない内容でした。VideoのTranscriptが非常に役に立ちました。Noteを取れるのも良かったですし、何度でもTranscriptから聴き直せるのが便利でした。インターフェイスも見やすく、操作しやすかったです。実際の仕事でAgileのTerminologyは聞くのですが、それが何を意味するのかが不明だったのが、このコースをとったお陰でよくわかるようになりました。

The course is a great introduction to the Agile Project Management Framework. I had hard about Agile Project Management many times, but since I took the course I noticed, that most have not really embraced it, allowing me to help others to embrace the values of the Agile Manifesto and bring about improvements to the organization.

This was a wonderful course. The material was well written and easy to follow. I learned so much. I would recommend this course to anyone. In fact, I plan to take another course offered through Coursera in the coming months. It took a lot of time and commitment but now that I've made it to the end, it was well worth every second.

It's been a long journey, but indeed very fruitful. I am working as a Project Manager in a software company and already familiar with many aspects of Agile project management, but this course laid a strong foundation for my growth in this career path. Recommended for beginners or anyone in the first five years of their PM career!

Muy bueno, porque es practico en como se abordan los temas y desarrolla los contenidos con la suficiente profundidad, para el público que esta dirigido. Destaco mucho la sección en donde aborda en como ser un Agile coach para implementar la metodología en nuevos proyectos u organizaciones que son ajenos a estas metodologías

It feels great to be equpped with new knowledg and different skills in a world that is constantly changing. One needs to be better prepared to be able to function effectively in a dynamic world where there are new opportunities all the time.

Thank you Coursera and Google for offering the platform to become more relevant.

Great course. Coming from a design/construction background and looking to pivot post MBA, this is highly educational. Though there is no book, I paired this with the dummies agile project management book. I'd get the book used as there are a few extra tips within the book, that are not mentioned in the course material.

One can underrate this course at their own peril. This is one of the best programmes ever created by google. I recommend this course to anyone willing to acquire, not only the certificate itself, but knowledge also that improves self and the confidence it generates is so immense. Keep up the standard, never drop the ball.

Great course, loved it. Despite of clearing PMP and PSM-1 I found this course very helpful, special thanks to instructor for delivering the material in such an elegant way. The sprint backlog and exercise were very helpful, most courses do not include such exercises and understanding only based on is theory is considered.

Great course. I learnt a lot in this course. (But there were some activities, that needed an instructor's

guidance, because I had a very hard time getting done. Some of them were optional, so I opted out.

And some topics were redundant unnecessarily).

Hopefully I will benefit from it tremendously. Thank you very much

This was a really tough course for me but I learned a great deal. Many of the terms that were used such as Agile, Scrum of Scrum etc. were all new to me so I did not do as well as I would have like. I was able to save and downloads many of the notes, lectures and videos in Google Drive so that I can reference later.

Thank you, Coursera for giving me the opportunity to learn in this course. I've learned a lot about Agile and at the same time, I acquired a lot of strategies for managing and coaching an Agile team. I'm very excited to take this learning into action. Having a self-paced course is also very helpful and efficient.

I learned so much in this course that is helpful for managing projects and life in a VUCA environment. There was A LOT in each of the modules that warrants further thought and learning. However, I feel as though I am ALMOST prepared for an entry level position. In addition, this will help me in my current job.

Before I started this course I was just a mobile developer with a typical mindset but this course helped me to view things differently and develop things that contain a value for the customer. I would highly recommend this course to those who are new to Agile and what to learn about project management in detail.

El curso fue sumamente útil, con información relevante, casos prácticos y lecturas interesantes. Me hubiera gustado contar con la alternativa de un experto para consultar algunos temas. No solo con los compañeros y colegas. Aunque admito que fueron de mucha ayuda sobre el proceso de todo este maravilloso curso.

For a single course on agile project management, this course definitely touches on the basics. Would recommend to anyone who is interested in the basics. Overall, Agile has so many frameworks & concepts such as LeSS, Scrum of Scrum, XP, SAFe, etc and every topic kind of would needs it's own course to cover it.

The course was great! It provided me with an in-depth understanding of what agile methodology is along with important key skills needed to perform agile or to begin the path towards becoming a Scrum Master. This course is a bit lengthy, but it is because there is a ton of content that was worth the coverage.

This is a great entry-level course for Agile project management. It focuses on Scrum for the most part. You will need to be accountable in terms of the assignments as most of them are done on an honor code and do not get reviewed. Take my advice and do all the assignments to their entirety! It's worth it.
