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.

My favorite course of the Certificate Program by a mile. I enjoyed learning from such a great instructor and true Google "Agilest", who provided many real-life project examples and useful tips. Kudos.

Excellent amount of information, I learned a lot. This course did move a little too fast in terms of being able to follow and take notes compared to the previous courses, but a lot of great information.

This course was informative, but truly an overload at some points. Week three and four could have almost been made into their own courses. However, I do think this was a very good introduction to Agile.

Agile p[roject management course a lot is expected to take in the second week. Agile is fast, but this course is too fast pace. The need, for formatted assign load up is need overall by Coursera.

I would give this a 5 but there are some items that are outdated and I believe some of the quizzes that had multiple choice answer could better serve the students if they were a written answer.

it lacks of examples on how to realy 'live' agile. It also lacks of some other frameworks details besides scrum.

But still a great course, given the quality of information of the fundamentals.

Great overview of Agile and Scrum. It was a bit too repetitive and information dense like the other courses. I think it could be cut down quite a bit to have just the necessary information.

The course needs examples of more realistic and prolonged experiments that simulate the real work environment in its randomness and diversity.

It is nicer to add special videos for that only

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!

Very insightful course; lots to learn from those that are beginners in Agile methodology. You can apply these learnings at work, or in your own life. Win-Win!

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!
