My favorite course of the Certificate Program by a mile. I enjoyed learning from such a great instructor and true Google "Agilest", who provided many real-life project examples and useful tips. Kudos.

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.

Amazing course with some in-depth knowledge of the most complex scenarios faced at the workplace mostly related to team handling and change management. I liked how well described it is in the videos and the small quizzes in between make you confident of how well you have understood the topic. A must-go course for every individual irrespective of their field and background.

This was one of the high light of this program and I am thankful for the team to give this opportunity to learn Agile project Management through this course. I could really learn the differences between water fall & Agile methodologies and the basics.

I really like this course as it is a refresher for me and to get to know other areas I have not thoroughly looked into, like Sprint Retrospective, and also not looked into, like scaling agile. It is a good introduction and would look out for courses related to Agile for further improvements to the existing mix methodologies within the organization I work in.

I've created notes on this for me to refer when I feel stuck or that I need a refresher. I have many attributes I enjoyed that I could sit with a team and instead of me just managing them also incorporate coaching them and having them come up with the solutions and having them steer the program or project and have building up on relationships with people

The benefits of Agile project management include increased customer satisfaction, faster time-to-market, improved project visibility and adaptability, and enhanced team collaboration and engagement. However, Agile is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and its success depends on factors such as team dynamics, project complexity, and organizational culture.

This course was outstanding.

It was comprehensive...and provided plenty of external resources to Agile thought leaders.

Google seems to have developed an internal Agile culture that rivals the precision and expertise of any top Management Consulting firm.

There are many people in organizations around the world who can benefit from taking this course.

Only some repetition and very little apparent incongruence (e.g. "build the right thing/build the thing right/build the thing fast" became "build the right thing/build the thing right/running it right" and others. General comment: really very good course, I learnt a lot of new thins, very well structured and the learning process has been well planned.

I would recommend this course to anyone interested in taking a course in Project management especially if you are new to this career line or you want to transit.

This course is excellent, however I consider that week 3 has much more material than can be reviewed with the time limit that has been defined as standard in the certification (one week). As week 3 is so long, it is possible that it is a matter of speeding up the review of the material, running the risk that it will be covered in a superficial way.

I really enjoyed this course. I felt like it provided a great and easy to understand overview of Agile techniques. I was familiar with a lot of it because I work at a tech company that utilizes a lot of the processes. I feel like I learned more about how I could be a better product owner, and areas to improve in our processes at our company.

I liked this course much more than the capstone course. I found that I actually learned something new. The techniques were practical and logical. The vernacular sounded a bit odd in the context, with expressions like epic and all, but it was helpful. I liked the section about how to prioritize activities and about "shirt sizes" and all.

I learn a lot of now stuff regarding the agile methodology and how to implement it. The Demo show some example form the industry practice which helps me understand how to blend agile within the organization. I can conclude Agile practice is not fixed, it can varies within the culcute but most important is following value and principle.

To be honest, I didn't know the importance of agile management before taking this course. As a project manager, I have implemented somewhat agile management into project but still lack of knowledge to manage larger projects.

This course is necessary for anyone who wants to go further in project management. It's a lifelong learning.

The course is very well structured with a good balance of different styles for learning - video clips, reading material or practice. The information shared and the extra resources /links are definitely useful and I have gained a very good understanding of what an Agile framework is and how to use it. Happy to have taken this course!

It is definitely a course that you must take if you want to know more about "agile" and "agile job interview at Google". It was not only an informative but also an extremely practical course. Last but not the least, it also offers you tips on how to land a job in relevant arenas. I indeed and a hundred percent RECOMMEND this course!
