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.

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.

I learned a lot, but... This course was a lot harder than the other ones. Not so much because on the content, but because the the questions on the quizzes were written to be tricky. They were hard to frequently understand. Many times, I felt the question content was not covered by the class material and, if it was, it was sometimes very obscure. Super glad this course is over.

I have learned a lot in this course and it was really interesting but the tutor/instructor was not good. I wish they have a better instructor for course like this as I was very excited about it but the instructor confuses me so much it make me sad about it. The other courses i did here was excellent and very motivating but this intructor was very dry

The course material needs some major revision. Some tasks were hard to understand. it would have been better if you recorded YouTube style video guide on how to instead of writing long instructions. Some parts of the course were redundant, while others (towards the end) needed more time and elaboration. It felt like a lot was boxed into the course.

Good course overall, but it feels like the course is really focused on software delivery (not surprising given that the presenter works at Google). Also, the section on coaching really does not fit...while coaching might be part of Agile PM/scrum master role, it either needs a lot more information or should not be included.

This is a 6-week course, not four weeks, which made the pacing frustrating for me. Also, the information is delivered in a rather Agile way, meaning there were several iterations of a topic, so I had to piece together the entire meaning and context of a concept instead of it being fully described in a central place.

Great material overall, but a bit lengthy. The course introduces an abundance of concepts which resulted in more reading material in comparison to the previous courses. I think adding graphics or charts to visually explain some of the techniques for relative estimates would be helpful.

I wish the course had more hands-on content toward the end - the content is a little laborious and it's hard to keep attention when you're not "doing". The activity at the end of the course with the interview questions and matching answers is BRILLIANT!! Thank you for including that

This course was super saturated and would have been better if broken down in tinier bits. There's a lot of reading in the later parts of the course. Week 3 and 4 were the hardest to understand. It could be better in all honesty. May be break it down to 6 weeks?

The Srint Backlog activity was a mess. The instructions and rubric are so poorly explained that it is extremely difficult to know if you've done an okay job at the assignment or if your grader was just as confused as you were.

Informative! There's a lot of topics that weren't covered and you were quizzed and expected to know the answers. Alot of extra reading but it gives you enough time. Solid course, Heavy on Scrum but does it's job.

Good material competently taught. Didn't care for the peer graded execises. I would suggest taking some of my tuition money and hiring all tose under paid adjugant professors to grade the assignment exercises.

It was a bit more difficult to follow the instructor / take notes during this course than the others.

The instructor would bounce around on subjects, making it difficult to take notes.

Lots of information needed to be distributed along the weeks evenly. Some weeks are light and others are very heavy with information. Plus, the slides are full of dense paragraphs.

Great in-depth coverage of Agile project management methodologies and how they can be leveraged to deliver maximum value to the business you're part of. Definitely worth it.

For someone with working experience in Agile, this course gives limited value. I quickly went through the material to move on to the next course of the specialization.

This course covers alot of stuff. Although useful it was too much information after completing most of PM courses. I litterally almost forgot I was taking PM.
