Mixed video, activity, and test help me focus and learn so much. And we can try many times in the test help us gain more confident and chance to enhance where we haven't understand. Such a great work.

thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to enroll this Google project management certification. But, I am not able to pay for the program because I have no money even to sustain myself. Why

Very detailed yet easy to digest about Project Management Foundation. However, there is room for that improvement, for kanban and waterfall can use real kanban board for students to learn and experience real situations.
