About the Course

Despite everyone's good intentions, hard work and solid ideas, too many teams end up creating products that no one wants, no one can use, and no one buys. But it doesn't have to be this way. Agile and design thinking offer a different--and effective--approach to product development, one that results in valuable solutions to meaningful problems. In this course, you’ll learn how to determine what's valuable to a user early in the process--to frontload value--by focusing your team on testable narratives about the user and creating a strong shared perspective. This course is supported by the Batten Institute at UVA’s Darden School of Business. The Batten Institute’s mission is to improve the world through entrepreneurship and innovation: www.batteninstitute.org....

Rich and well-structured content about Agile and Design Thinking, shows how to approach and include personas that will somehow be touched by the solution being created, and deliver outcomes to them.

Very good info to combine Agile and DT. Don't expect too much info about DT though, this is about how to harness some aspects of DT and use them in Agile

Course was great! Alex touched most of the Design-Thinking fundamentals. Could have gone little more into details on prototyping and usability testing.

More concrete case studies would help than HVAC in a Hurry and the other. I think HVAC is really good example. But more cases please. thanks.

The course contains the basics to start learning and practicing Agile Methodology, mainly focused on the User. It's a good start.

overall very good - far above my expectations; with the exception of the translation into German, which is very poor and useless

I think it's a good course, but more oriented to product design. I thought it will be covering more on software development.

Videos could be fewer, a bit longer. Split in large number of short clips made it harder for me to follow the storyline.
