初心者にも学びやすく、飽きさせない内容でした。VideoのTranscriptが非常に役に立ちました。Noteを取れるのも良かったですし、何度でもTranscriptから聴き直せるのが便利でした。インターフェイスも見やすく、操作しやすかったです。実際の仕事でAgileのTerminologyは聞くのですが、それが何を意味するのかが不明だったのが、このコースをとったお陰でよくわかるようになりました。

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.

1. Сources 1-5 - mostly water . You have to squeeze it very well to identify a piece of meaningful information. Very diluted, like women soap romance book. 2. No quality control. No real teachers are available in this course - considering it as a shame! I never heard that students are forced to grade each other in any reputable educational institution! That annihilate any educational purpose. Where has this been seen in any reputable educational institution? You can only imagine the content of those tests! There are mostly "Help me through" with no tests at all. Some people simply copy the given material and present it for "peer grading", hope that other people will give them "pass". And they will succeed. Shame, nowhere only here, in Coursera you can observe this pattern. 3. Certificate. Guess what, you have to jeopardize and put your identity in danger by providing your complete identity info to some Persona and let this Persona to use all your personal info for 3 years at their full discretion! It's maybe sold, stolen hacked etc. All those risks for what? For getting some certificate from organization with a dubious reputation where is no teachers and students are generously grading each other? Coursera should be upfront about that condition and about all those non-functioning trimmed educational system. Conclusion: Coursera and all companies presented here by Coursera don't really care about education quality and quality personnel, so the purpose is simply clipping monthly money. Sad. It's very sad only.

This course was interesting but very disjointed. Agile is of course something all PMs should know about, but the structure of the course, which was clearly iterative, did not effectively build from one step to the next. I wish this was just an entirely separate professional certificate because then it would allow the courses to go into the level of detail and depth it really needs. I frequently felt like this was a long advertisement for using Scrum and Agile in the technology field, and the exclusion of other industry domains was frustrating and made it hard to maintain motivation. Indeed at certain times I felt condescended to. Again, Scrum and Agile are fascinating subjects, and I really want to become skilled at implementing them. But I feel very letdown by this specific course in the PM certificate.

This course was the most hard to follow so far in the series. In part because the models were so long with so much information and videos that were unecessarily long. Its interesting how in this module it was discussed alot about shortening the Sprit and user stories but it didn't apply to the course or the way it was presented. It could have followed a similar set up like course 4 with 6 modules instead of cramming all into fewer. I had to read and rewatch videos multiple times to understand the subject, felt it was to vague or not enough examples given. Presenter knows their stuff but lack a sense of presenting in an interesting and engaging way, almost bored to be there.

There was a lot of very interesting things to learn in this course, however i spent a lot of my time trying to understand what the teacher was trying to teach me. She was all over the place and jumped back and forth between things which made it extremely difficult to try and take notes (to prep for quizzes) i found myself getting very frustrated and overwhelmed. Instead of retaining the things she was trying to teach, i spent my time trying to understand exactly what she was trying to teach and where it fit in.

This is a good to excellent course, but I cannot find a way to download slides of the course. A course without handout = waste of time (not lean, not customer centric, not agile). I cannot remind the content of any course without notes. I need handbook, handnotes, at least slides that have been presented. I cannot find a message area (forum) to ask for them. This is strange. I will post a message in one the course forum (asking for specific topics, I will be out of scope).

It was, as others, a great course set up and very informative. I felt like a lot of it was repeat and some of it was not anything too special to learn vs the other courses in this Certificate where I felt a learned a lot of more useful information. I feel like it when it comes to project management, how you handle your project is specific to the company and stakeholders and focusing on Agile; its simple vs being as complexed as it is being made out to be.

Too many topics were bunched up into 1 in this course which made it boring. some topics could have been integrated in the previous few courses. since this is online and there is no actual team member to discuss any topic, it becomes boring if constantly one person talks and others listen, also Improve on questions being asked a video, the no of question asked on the video of more than 3 minutes needs to be increased.

Comparing to previous courses the cours instructor did not get my attention, she is reading the text in front of the camera in a way that makes me think about other things and fall asleep. This course is only tons of terms, facts, and boring stuff. I am sure that it can be served in a more pleasant way.

It is very difficult to learn about Agile, without having the right kind of access. Even when you try to sign up and pay the fee, it requries that you have multiple people.

This course stood apart from the other four. I think it needs a rewrite.

It really felt like they were trying to sell me something six different ways without ever demonstrating how it could be useful outside of the tech industry and tech-based parts of other industries.

VERY Basic. I was hoping to get helpful tips/insights from Googlers about how they go about their projects in real life. This course is very basic.
