This course is great for anyone who want to explore about Agile project management. If you had knowledge of traditional project management like waterfall before, it would be very visible and helpful.

The quality of the product was very good and the instructor was very good. However, I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars as the course itself felt way too long -- particularly Week 3, that was an insane amount of work. I think that those who want to be Agile Project Managers would take more intense, agile specific courses -- I really felt this course should have not been so indepth. Given that I have completed Scrum Master Certification, I didn't find the course hard, but I found it to be way too long for someone seeking PM certification.

Very instructive for me because I've never heard of Agile before. The course is very instructive and covers alot, too much all at once at times. The sections on Agile seemed to take on a life of its own, compeletly separate from Project Management which made it difficult to follow and see how Agile relates to project management. I think if the Agile information was presented with repeated "and this is how it works in project management generally" I would have followed and understood the material quicker and more easily.

This course was extremely good, and the Instructor was an absolute pro through and through. My only gripe with the course was that the information was presented at such a pace where I found myself having to pause, and re-wind every minute or so just to make sure I got all of my information. The instructor spoke so fast I felt like I was learning in 2x speed! This course is fantastic nonetheless and provided me with a load of helpful information on my journey through widening my knowledge of Project Management.

I did enjoy doing Course 5 - Agile Project Management - and have learned an awful lot. Can't help feeling that it was somewhat rushed in the sense that I completed it within a week. I did go over every single piece of content, graded and ungraded quizzes/assignments, read, viewed, reviewed, and completed all there was to do. Many hours of work piled up each day and I remain impressed by how well-structured Course 5 as indeed the entire program. Thank you to the instructors.

Agile Project Management is great for projects needing flexibility and quick adjustments. Its focus on iteration, team collaboration, and customer feedback often results in higher quality and satisfaction. However, it’s not without challenges—success depends on the team’s commitment to regular updates and adaptive planning. Without these, Agile can become chaotic and misaligned. Overall, it’s a powerful approach if your team is ready to fully embrace its practices.

I really enjoyed this course. I learned an enormous amount of information and I hope I can use this information to change my career. I will recommend this course to friends and family. However, I was NOT able to access or view my certificate or move to the last course which is the capstone course. There was an error message that said down for maintenance. Hope it comes up soon so I can view and access the certificate and complete the capstone course.

Learning from Google experts on the job was an exciting experience. It highlights the difference between theoretical learning and practical application, making the process more engaging and relevant to real-world situations. Adding captions to the videos would be a great advantage though, as it would enhance the learning experience even further. I'd recommend this educational content to upcoming and on-the-job project managers. Cheers!

Very usefull material to update ones knowledge and skills. The tutors in the videos were very clear and understandable in their tutoring. The excersises were spot on and tips (& tops) are like an extra for the practioner. Can't wait to find out, what courses there are to level up my skills. For now, my sincere thanks to the instructors, tutors, mentors (and all the knowledge sharing gurus) at Coursera.

It gave me a look at what Agile entails and the resources and information about the job hunting process was much appriciated. HOWEVER, for someone such as myself who actually took notes the entire program and has a pretty demanding schedule I do feel like they should have broken the courses down even further instead of packing it into 4 weeks. Other than that this course was a great course overall!

That last section was a doozy and really not great if you're not already working in an job with practical applications, but overall, there was some good content in here. The quizzes and content are pretty good, and linking to other resources like youtube, agilemanifesto, scrumguides.org, and others makes it better.

I have a better perspective of working with a team and leading changes and solving problems. Taking this course showed me that there are a lot of tools of managing projects but having a very solid team and working by goals and leaving people work and encouraging is the best artifact to complete a project.

This course was by far the hardest one for me. There's just so much to learn within 4 weeks tio be able to meet deadlines, and I know in time I will eventually know the terms related to Agile given rewatching the videos. My favortie ones were the exercises/peer graded assignments.

Very helpful materials for learning, Innovative ways of teaching, Creative assessments. I would like to thank Coursera for providing this course on its platform and I would like to thank Google for providing the amazing instructors and the creative and effective ways of learning.

Overall very nice course with lots of great, diverse and interesting learning content and methods. I learned a lot of very useful things that will help me grow professionally. I would have liked to have a few more peer reviewed assignments for a better online learning experience.

Overall, it was a good course. I am not sure I am fully ready yet to work as a Scrum Master or Product Mgr.

Week 4 was a bit of miscellaneous as we touched on a lot of subjects. Perhaps, we will learn how to create a roadmap in the final course.

I look forward to the next course.

The course is great, but a little bit confusing. Had to repeat many parts because how to apply agile is not clear in the course like the previous 4 courses of the certificate. I dont know how to make it clearer and easier, but liked to share my experience with the course.

The course is full of new information for me. I found the deadline quite difficult to respect because there was a lot of materials and assignements to complete. I think this course should be split into 2 courses: the Foundation of Agile and Agile documents.

Was way to software focused. The only way to promote agile in the industry is to show examples on how it can be used with different industries. Software developments is great but project management only partially transferable to other areas from devops.

I want to thank every responsible working person on this course and sure especially Miss Sue can't thank her enough to share all this experience and knowledge with all of us its a pleasure to learn from one of the biggest corporations around the world

The course 'Agile Project Management' was wonderful. The videos, readings and exercises were generally explicit and interesting. As someone new to Agile, I learned many new principles and approaches. I look forward to applying these in the next course.

Es muy bueno, pero es demasiado contenido para un solo curso... contrasta mucho con el ritmo de los anteriores cursos de la certificación. Creo que el tema de agilismo podría (y debería) ser tratado con la misma intensidad del modelo tradicional de PM.

this is the best course till now.

it provides a lot of informations and materials

but, in my opinion, last two lessons are too thick

maybe it can be improved splitting the course in two with an indtroduction and a more deep explanation of models

It was a great class. My only gripe is that for some of the stuff you need to use Asana, which is paid, but you can use a free trial. It's not a good idea to do that, because like me, this course took over a month and you'll be charged.
