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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
