A beginner course for intermediate experience it seems! This course was hard to get through due to the setup and execution. While it provides really great information for someone like me who has no knowledge or experience with Product Management, I don't think it is truly for beginners. The voice for the videos is very hard to listen to and I kept falling asleep and then the assignments left me out in open water without a paddle. You are given an assignment, but there is no "answer" or "example to compare it to, there is no grading of the assignment to know if you are on the right track or doing it correctly so it seems they are more for intermediate learners rather than the newbie beginners. This I feel like is the biggest issue. I did the assignments but can't tell you that I have even the faintest clue if I am doing it correctly. I would love to see this fixed and come back to do it over. Really would not recommend this course for this reason but otherwise I found the feedback and the expert opinions nice.

The course is really helpful to know the fundamentals of Product Management and Product Manager’s roles and responsibilities. Especially it was great that they have provided the Expert Opinions in this course. This course covers the basic concepts and have the opinions and suggestions from Product Managers, SME’s who are working in industry. Thank you IBM and Coursera for providing this course with detailed explaination of concepts.

The course is great to discover what is product management, its complexity and benefits in and for a company. The different modules cover theoretic concepts like product development, value creation and gives an understanding of the approaches, methods and overall structure of product management department. I think it gives the very basic and if you have a business background, topics might be redundant.

Really good introduction to Prod Mgmt and the expert views in particular were so helpful - an inspired addition to a course like this. Getting access to advice from experienced professionals is difficult so that really made a huge extra contribution to my learning in a very practical way. Thank you :)
