Muy buen curso, enfocado a una primera toma de contacto en la metodologia Agile. Sin embargo, tambien profundiza en algunos conceptos importantes, por lo que no se queda para nada corto de nformacion.

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.

that was a lot of homework and assignment and the course content was dense and packed with a lot of information. Week 3 took about 10 hours to complete, but well worth the time dedicated to it. Overall, it was a fantastic module.

So much content. Really great course. I wish it were longer or less information shared, so that I could grasp more of it. A lot of technical terms that went over my head even after the readings. But very helpful nonetheless.

Interesting, but not exactly what I want to see. I would like to see more practical tasks which helps me to implement Agile in my life, not only the theory. And why there are so many tasks which looks like a test?

II liked the different use of learning modalities, videos, readings, and quizes. The reason I didn't give it a full five stars is for the peer review work, there is inconsistant grading with that type of work.

There seems to be a glitch in the discussion forums. There were several times when I would go back to edit my response and it would it would jumble my words and I could not get the cursor to go where I wanted.

I would love more practical examples! The theory is great, but feels unrealistic and difficult to implement in real life. Starting with kanban is good, what are some other small agile practices to ramp up to?

I found this course to be challenging and thought provoking. I found the main instructor to be excellent. She presented very well and her adding her background and work experience at Google was good to hear.

Nice cover all framework with history, practical approach about agile management with easy exercise to engage and practice in short time. It will be meaningful for managing cross-functional team for my work.

Very well organized as one section logically follows the next. The Estimation spreadsheet needs access to more direct to help because there is precious little. Still, this serves as an excellent refresher.

Excellent amount of information, I learned a lot. This course did move a little too fast in terms of being able to follow and take notes compared to the previous courses, but a lot of great information.

This course was informative, but truly an overload at some points. Week three and four could have almost been made into their own courses. However, I do think this was a very good introduction to Agile.

Agile p[roject management course a lot is expected to take in the second week. Agile is fast, but this course is too fast pace. The need, for formatted assign load up is need overall by Coursera.

I would give this a 5 but there are some items that are outdated and I believe some of the quizzes that had multiple choice answer could better serve the students if they were a written answer.

it lacks of examples on how to realy 'live' agile. It also lacks of some other frameworks details besides scrum.

But still a great course, given the quality of information of the fundamentals.

Great overview of Agile and Scrum. It was a bit too repetitive and information dense like the other courses. I think it could be cut down quite a bit to have just the necessary information.

The course needs examples of more realistic and prolonged experiments that simulate the real work environment in its randomness and diversity.

It is nicer to add special videos for that only

The instructor was excellent. I’m going to have print a lot of the resources - glossary, scrum guide, and agile manifesto if I really want this to stick. Thank you, I enjoyed the course.

It's little overwhelming, as too much things was cramped. But it was very exciting to know everything. Love the tutors who took this course with a good pace and their valuable insights.

A holistic explanation from the initial conception of Agile to emerging new frameworks. You wouldn't be disappointed. Plus assistance with job search, interviews and securing a job.

The delivery of this particular module is a bit dry and very skewed to software development. It was much less engaging and more difficult to absorb than other modules in the course
