Learned a lot since I basically stumbled upon a project management role, it's nice to understand it from a formal instruction perspective and learn actual techniques instead of trial and error.

Its very awesome course. Easy to follow, and I can still remember what I've learned here due to the fact that I am kind of short memory person. But the delivery method in this course is great.
