    Does let you know practices that help in making the right product that is managed right and done right, with retrospective techniques that can be implemented after the project is completed.

    Good course to understand the various Agile process to track a project and to improve the process. The graded exams have a good bit of scenario based questions to think and apply the same

    The training materials are very well presented and easy to digest. I got plenty out of it. But the certificates are really, really easy to pass and I think it devalues them somewhat. If you're interested in this because you just want to learn for the sake of learning, or to supplement any practical knowledge of product management that you may already have through experience in your career (as was my case) and to just understand things better, this is great. But I wouldn't expect to get a new job/change career because of any certificate you earn from this course or others in the specialisation.

    All courses in this specialization have a very good content. Videos are well done and there are very interesting links provided as supplemental resources. This is a good specialization for someone trying to get into a software technical lead position. There are very interesting bits of knowledge in all the courses.

    Good material, but even better external material shown by links to blogs or related stuff.

    Too focused in SCRUM. Maybe other methodologies are worth to explain.

    I'll not buy it since I'm a SM, but if you are beginning with this topics or want to pursue a SM certificate, this course definitively can help you.

    Very well presented course like the other courses in the Prod Mgmt Specialization. The project retrospective part was well presented and can be new even for seasoned managers the reason being this ceremony rarely happens in the agile software world.

    What I very appreciate from this course that we get feedback from your mistake so can learn from it. That's why it suitable for newbie or professional and programmer or non programmer. It will be better if spreadsheet template as tool is provided.

    Metrics produced a great opportunity to use exercises creating the software metric artifacts, as was done so well in course #4. This would be a significant improvement, and the lack of it was the only reason this didn't get five stars.

    Very good course and rich in new, cunning information! However confusing at a few points in the final assessment and the last video about the "past/future days" project retrospective explanation was not clear enough.

    It truly helps to understand how software environment works at the moment to design an improve the planning, development and release. As well, provide knowledge of how to manage the team and stakeholders in meeting.

    This is a great specialisation course. I recommend this specialisation because it more than just explaining the processes but also, includes challenging courseworks and helpful materials.

    Good course. Would like to see more examples about metrics, and the quizzes don't show the graphics when they're required, that's a pain in the... But in general terms it was a good course

    A very good course, where the presenters have really tried to articulate the topics and explain in a very simple manner using real life examples.

    good as usual (:

    Unfortunately only with reference to process metrics, a rough insight into more business related metrics would be nice.

    This is a great course for leading the development team but it's very theoretical.

    It is better to add videos from real-world meetings.

    Maybe it would be better to add more exercises to assimilate better the content. Same as previous courses in the Specialization.

    It's a good course to understand the base and learn concepts. There could be more examples illustrating the theory. Recommend.

    Very good, but I wish for more analysis of what self-destructive metrics mean and how to handle them (who own the metric, etc)
