I'm learning a LOT, and you don't have to take it quite as slowly as they suggest. But, it's nice that there's a manageable pace set out for you. Instructor and guests were great--relatable and clear.

Good for beginners, however it touches on a lot of topics besides project management itself, like organizational structures, culture, change management etc.

Hans-on training and real-world practical examples. I have used other platforms, but Coursera is indeed for professional training with experienced trainers.

Project management is an art and a science. But explaining art can sometimes be very difficult. This course managed to teach the intangibles rather easily.
