I've always wanted to learn more about agile project management and I'm so happy that I've finally learned it even if just the basics. Thank you Google and Coursera for making this course available!

The instructor was excellent. I’m going to have print a lot of the resources - glossary, scrum guide, and agile manifesto if I really want this to stick. Thank you, I enjoyed the course.

A holistic explanation from the initial conception of Agile to emerging new frameworks. You wouldn't be disappointed. Plus assistance with job search, interviews and securing a job.

The delivery of this particular module is a bit dry and very skewed to software development. It was much less engaging and more difficult to absorb than other modules in the course

Good high level overview and details. Very helpful if you have no experience but even if you are doing Agile, it provides some interesting information and references regarding PM.

A good introduction to scrum and to agility. While I'm not at all new to these, I got a lot of good review as well as fresh material that enhanced the understanding I already had.

Very good overview of Agile/Scrum Project Management.

I think it should be delivered separately from the other Google 'waterfall' project management courses (to avoid confusion).

I need more material and practice to understand the real benefits of the agile approach. I found the material in Mike Kohn's book. I would like more examples on simple things.

This Course on Agile Approach has brilliant content and illustrators. However, there are some key areas like some scaling frameworks, I was expecting a little more detail.

This course was very informative. Kind of hefty at times but as with all the courses the approach to breaking down things has been really good. Just a lot of content.

That was a TON of information!! Good information but A LOT!! Week 3 was a bit much. It all kind of ran together but I got the gist of it. I enjoyed the course though.

A very useful knowledge I can get from this platform and Google. Not only Agile but also side dish along the way. But thats depend on how you take the side dish!

I highly enjoyed the content! I like week 4's content a little less as it seemed to center around a popular business literature, but eye opening nonetheless!

There's a lot of material and maybe it could be longer, like a week more, to go deeper in some aspects. Great lessons and content by the way. Enthusiast!
