It was a little harder to find some of the answers in the Quizes as "What is MORE right?" was often what I was asking myself, but overall, very interesting.

Great course. I would have distributed more consistently the content through the weeks, as week four had significantly more than the other three.

Very lean and effective. The only thing i would change is to distribute the content more evenly for each week, or split week 4 in 2 or 3 weeks.

A solid introduction into project management, without touching the different forms. Scrum and agile aren't mentioned. But still recommendable.
