Excellent course with detailed information about basics of Project Management. It would be great if we can also be provided with the PDF of the course, which can be used for reference.

I think this course really provides the foundational knowledge of what it is PM and what a carreer in PM looks like, so that you decide if you see yourself moving foward in this area

The material is very dry. No examples, just theory.

Too much marketing of the PM role, not enough of the actual skills.

Coming from no knowledge of project management, I know have a basic understanding of what it is and how to move forward with a career in project management. The course was informative, clear and easy to understand. I also liked that there was advice from working project managers and not just textbook information. Overall, I now know what the next steps are in this field and how that will affect me.

This course taught me a lot about the basics of project management and what I can expect going into the field. The course explores everything from concepts and terminology to roles and expected responsibilities and salaries in different industries. Definitely worth taking the course if you are considering becoming a Project Manager and are not sure what it entails.

The satisfaction I experienced from this course was surprising. I was nervous about whether it would be a boring experience, but the interaction with videos featuring professionals in my desired field significantly helped my concentration and motivation. I am happy and fulfilled with my progress.

Introduction to Project Management course is great for a start-up. I learn the basics and i got the informations like where will i work as a project manager or how do i work, How to make things better and so on. I suggest you to enroll to this course

Systematic and Effective Methodologies, Easy to Learned and Simple understandable Language, Happy to be part of this Course. Thanks, Everyone Stakeholder of this Course Project.

It was simple and understandable, but even with experience in project management, there was a lot of new information on this topic. Expert viewpoints were a nice added value.

This is a great introductory course to project management. I really enjoyed the expert view-points on the concepts taught in the course. Thank you.

The course was well orchestrated, and helped to enhance basic concepts of Project Management.

My experience with the "Introduction to Project Management" class was a disappointment. The course's failure to deliver on its promises and the glaring shortcomings of the final project left me questioning the quality and intent behind this offering.

The final project, in particular, was an absolute letdown. It's hard to believe that a project supposedly designed to encapsulate the key learnings of the course could be so poorly executed. The project's lack of relevance was astonishing. It felt as though it had been pieced together without any thought to its alignment with the course material. The assignment seemed more like a random assortment of tasks rather than a meaningful culmination of the knowledge we had acquired over the weeks. A final project should be a well-planned culmination of our learning journey.

I cannot recommend this course to anyone seeking a meaningful and comprehensive introduction to project management. It was a wasted opportunity and an unfortunate misrepresentation of what an educational course should be.

The "Introduction to Project Management" course offers a comprehensive overview of the essential concepts and practices within the field, making it an excellent resource for beginners. With five well-structured modules, the course effectively covers the essential principles, tools, and methodologies required to manage projects successfully. Structured into four modules with an additional final assessment, the course covers everything from foundational concepts to practical skills, industry trends, and career opportunities. The course is thoughtfully organized into weekly lessons, each building upon the previous one, making it easy to follow and engage with the material. The first module introduces the basics, explaining what project management is, making it suitable even for learners with no prior knowledge. The following modules explore the role of project managers, various project management methodologies (such as Agile), and recent trends like remote work and AI, which keeps the content relevant and modern. The third module introduces to the practical day-to-day responsibilities of a project manager, along with the technical and soft skills required to succeed in the role. The final module rounds off the course with a clear focus on career development, highlighting various paths and opportunities within project management. • The course covers all the major aspects of project management, providing a thorough introduction to both the theory and practice. • The mix of video lectures, readings, quizzes, and interviews ensures that learners stay engaged and can choose the format that suits them best. • The final module and content related to careers in project management are highly valuable for those looking to advance or start their career in the field. • Discussions on Agile, Scrum, remote work, and AI in project management ensure that learners are prepared for modern project challenges. May be for some learners with prior knowledge in project management might find certain sections overly basic. More advanced topics or case studies could be added for those seeking a deeper dive into complex project management scenarios. Overall, "Introduction to Project Management" is a well-structured, engaging, and comprehensive course that provides a solid foundation for anyone interested in pursuing a career in project management. Its focus on both technical skills and soft skills, along with insights into industry trends and career opportunities, makes it a valuable resource for beginners and those considering a career change into project management.

El curso de gestión de proyectos ofrece una cobertura integral de temas esenciales como vocabulario, metodologías (Agile, Waterfall, Lean, Six Sigma), habilidades blandas y técnicas, y fases del ciclo de vida del proyecto. Destaca en habilidades prácticas con estudios de caso y ejemplos del mundo real, y subraya la importancia de la comunicación efectiva con las partes interesadas y el equipo. Además, menciona herramientas relevantes como IBM Cognos, Asana y Slack, y aborda tendencias modernas como la Áreas de Mejora Podría profundizar más en la aplicación práctica de metodologías específicas, incluir más ejercicios prácticos y diversificar los estudios de caso para abarcar más industrias y tipos de proyecto.
