Although a very extensive course, the concepts learned can be applied to many roles and industries making it very worthwhile. The instructor was very knowledegable and provided stories from her own experience that reinforced what's being taught in the model.  I knew nothing about Agile management prior to this course and now feel equipped to share an overview of this effective style of project management

Fue una excelente experiencia de aprendizaje. Los tutoriales y el material de estudio permiten incorporar los fundamentos del agile project management en un ambiente interactivo. Me pareció fabulosa la inclusión de la aplicación Asana en la elaboración del backlog y la planificación de los sprint. Fue un excelente curso introductorio para las personas que quieran desempeñarse en este campo.

What a journey!

I've literally enjoyed every single moment on this course and of course i'm going to come back within my career to get more of this treasure.

I remembred the intro video when Sue talked about "aha" moment.. by the end of the course i found myself in that mode.

Greetings to my peers during this wonderful and extremly useful course.

Sue, thank you and stay healthy and inspiring.

Great course! I've taken a few courses on Coursera and this really seemed to be immersive yet easy to follow. I feel like I learned a lot in just a four week course. I had only planned to take the Agile Project Management course since I've already completed other PM courses and have a PMP, but I'm curious to see other Google offerings due to the quality of this course now that I'm done.

The differences between Agile, Scrum, Waterfall, XP and other methodologies are well explained. It is associated both as exemplary projects and as a part of our routine life. Agile and Scrum processes are explained in detail. It has been discussed at length how to apply Agile and how to coach the team. Training has been reinforced with the evaluations and projects included in the course.

I enjoyed this Agile Project Management course. The program allowed me to use a flexible schedule to complete the learning and I did the course remotely. I liked the infographic exercises and the video streaming lectures that were given by Google employees. I would like to thank my employer and Coursera for making it possible for me to complete the Agile Project Management course.

Before undertaking this course, I always felt that no formal training is required for Project Management and rather it's kind of common sense. I tell you that this course has been a real help and I have been able to understand project management and agile methodology like never before. Definitely recommend it to everyone else who wants to get formally trained and grow in career.

Course 5, Agile Project Management, is superb. Agile and SCRUM are covered well without overwhelming. The links provided for additional research provide very useful real world application of the values and principles. By using experience gained in the trenches Sue, the instructor, ties the theory to daily practice. Much appreciated!!!! Thanks for a job well done, Google.

The Agile approach has been like an Archimedes screw for me. It changed my perception of traditional project execution, showing how extraordinary results can be achieved in less time and with less effort. The precise sequence of short and concrete videos, coupled with his readings and reference material are the backbone of the screw! It's worth it! Our tutor? A sweetheart!

I really like this course as it is a refresher for me and to get to know other areas I have not thoroughly looked into, like Sprint Retrospective, and also not looked into, like scaling agile. It is a good introduction and would look out for courses related to Agile for further improvements to the existing mix methodologies within the organization I work in.

I've created notes on this for me to refer when I feel stuck or that I need a refresher. I have many attributes I enjoyed that I could sit with a team and instead of me just managing them also incorporate coaching them and having them come up with the solutions and having them steer the program or project and have building up on relationships with people

The benefits of Agile project management include increased customer satisfaction, faster time-to-market, improved project visibility and adaptability, and enhanced team collaboration and engagement. However, Agile is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and its success depends on factors such as team dynamics, project complexity, and organizational culture.

This course was outstanding.

It was comprehensive...and provided plenty of external resources to Agile thought leaders.

Google seems to have developed an internal Agile culture that rivals the precision and expertise of any top Management Consulting firm.

There are many people in organizations around the world who can benefit from taking this course.

"I recently completed the Agile Project Management course from Google, and I must say it exceeded my expectations. The content was comprehensive, the delivery was engaging, and the practical insights provided have significantly enhanced my understanding and application of Agile principles.

Only some repetition and very little apparent incongruence (e.g. "build the right thing/build the thing right/build the thing fast" became "build the right thing/build the thing right/running it right" and others. General comment: really very good course, I learnt a lot of new thins, very well structured and the learning process has been well planned.

Taking this course has been one of the best decison I took in my career as a Project management. Everything here was explanatry, I loved the test we took at the end and the pratical class. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in taking a course in Project management especially if you are new to this career line or you want to transit.

This course is excellent, however I consider that week 3 has much more material than can be reviewed with the time limit that has been defined as standard in the certification (one week). As week 3 is so long, it is possible that it is a matter of speeding up the review of the material, running the risk that it will be covered in a superficial way.

I really enjoyed this course. I felt like it provided a great and easy to understand overview of Agile techniques. I was familiar with a lot of it because I work at a tech company that utilizes a lot of the processes. I feel like I learned more about how I could be a better product owner, and areas to improve in our processes at our company.
