The lecturer is fantastic, everything was clear, concise and easy to take notes on. It felt like a lot of details are condensed very well to make this a very informative and knowledge-building course.

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.

This is a rating for the overall certification. Each course contains peer graded assignments and self graded assignments. The self graded assignments have exemplars, but the peer graded assignments do not. There have been multiple times I have been graded incorrectly based on peers' misunderstandings of the assignment. These have not been subjective, but instead right or wrong answers. After a few times, of this happening I emailed google support. They basically said: Mistakes happen and there is nothing they can do. If I feel strongly about it I can resubmit my work and hope my next two peers grade my assignment correctly. That felt very discouraging! Other than that the courses have been engaging, contained varied learning techniques and enough repetition to help concepts stick. Would have given them 5/5 if it wasn't for this poorly designed peer grading system.

My rating is more like 3.5 stars, and my concerns are (also) around the peer review portion of this course. I personally "reviewed" several submissions that were clearly plagarized, and in one instance they were given to me back-to-back. Since these same people are responsible for reviewing my work, I am left not entirely sure if I am understanding the course material or just the recipient of a passing grade from someone who is trying to cut as many corners as possible to get to their certificate.

As a whole, I walked away from the course feeling relatively confident that I understood the material presented but if someone asked me whether or not they should take this course, it would come with several caveats.

This course was informative and hit all the right points as far as explaining the information. However, I want to suggest to make the directions on the Graded Assignment a little bit more clear as far as what is expected for grading. I had to submit my assignment so many times and was not given enough context into what I was doing wrong. I also wasn't aware I had to include additional items on the assignment and I found it very frustrating for me to keep on redoing the assignment and reviewing the material again when all it was, was a few simple items left (i.e. include 'Next Sprint' in the Backlog sheet, add up all the points in the designated column).

Agile methodology is a flexible approachto Project Management. there are different frameworks to Agile methodology. projects that adopt an Agile project management approach can be described as itirative which means the processes are repeated often many times during the life cycle of the project. Agile project management is an approach to project and team management based on Agile manifesto that is a collection of four values and 12 principles that define the mindset of all Agile teams and it was developed in the 90s. Agile projects have many releases along the way to the end of the project.

Presenter was hard to listen to compared to the others in these courses. Note-taking slides were inconsistent and it slowed down my progress having to search for things in the transcript that normally appeared on the screen for me to write down. I believe there was too much time spent in the course talking about the history of Agile and too much praise for the process instead of just showing me how to use it properly. This was the most difficult of all the courses for me to complete; not because of the work, but because it was harder to listen and take notes.

I thought the first part of this course was interesting, but I did not find Week 4 to be remotely helpful. I also feel like the course is really pushing Agile PM (as well as specific tools like Asana... does Google own Asana or something?). It felt a little cult like. I would love to hear from people who use Agile PM at companies other than Google, to get a sense of what it's really like in practice. My partner uses Agile at his company and he says it's nothing like the videos.

This felt different in comparison to all the other Project Management courses- the videos were too long and the subchapters were also lengthy. It felt like they were trying to cram too much information. I would've enjoyed it more if they had broken it down into more sub-chapters and shorter videos- none of the videos in my opinion should be longer than 5 minutes max so it's easier for the information to sink in and to go at your own pace.

O conteúdo é óptimo. Mas a quantidade de horas que temos que dedicar ao curso é completamente desproporcional com os cursos restantes desta certificação, onde existem normalmente 3 a 4 horas de conteúdo por semana. Neste curso há semanas com mais de 10h, o que faz com que seja impossível terminar o curso no tempo previsto mantendo a mesma cadência de estudo. Deviam separar o conteúdo e criar mais semanas. Fica a sugestão.

This course felt very google specific. Unlike the other courses , I felt like I was getting a training and a pitch to work at Google. Since this is not how I use project management, it was a lot. I feel like some of the courses should have been supplemental specifically for those in the IT industry. Google can do a lot better to work on making this more accessible to those in other project management fields.

The information in this course was really fantastic. However, compared to the other earlier modules the pacing was inconsistent and uneven (some sections very short and some very long). The information felt jammed into the available space. Overall, this module felt very different and like it was rushed and tacked on to the end. I feel like maybe the Agile part could be expanded into two sections.
