I will continue watching the courses in the Specialization, hoping that maybe the next ones will be useful. But overall, I would say that they course is not really oriented at the real world. I appreciate the quality of the videos and the animations. But the purpose of the animations and the concept of the course are still not clear to me. Course seems to pay a lot of attention to the Agile without clearly explaining how Agile works. Seems to be almost a commercial to the Agile approach, without any good argument why should you use it.

I found quizzes, in-video questions and animations to be barely relatable to the course. Most of the things that are asked in the quizzes are not explicitly explained throughout the course, answers have to be rather guessed that learnt or extrapolated.

Also, in real world, SPM job requires not just the knowledge of the waterlike theory, but a lot of tech skills that are not mentioned in the course.

Although the instructors were great, the course was good however I personally expect many more! the materials covered in this course are simply accessible and "free" via a simple search on first page of google or agile manifesto website itself. This course need to be more comprehensive and interactive.

Another problem was the assessments , they were not only covered in some cases such as "right product" and "done right" but also were about the upcoming courses!! This is were I believe that when somebody pay or ask for financial aid for this course expect a wider range of materials to be covered.

Once again I appreciate the effort and wish the best for the team.

The course seems to be a course in Scrummerfall, i.e., a mixture of Scrum and Waterfall. After having briefly discussed the Agile Manifesto, which emphasizes things like "People over processes," what is the first thing that they dive into? Processes where they say things like "Requirements combined with processes are the backbone of any successful software project." I would disagree. Requirements and processes are important, but people and communications are the backbone of any successful software project.

I'm dropping this specialization and searching for another course that really follows Agile methodologies.

A product manager's job begins with the user, understanding what users need and which user problems could be solved to move towards strategic goals. Prioritization of feature requests and backlog grooming is also an essential part of a PM's work.

This course pushes the user to the side, forgets about prioritization, and begins with receiving product requirements from a client. Some PM's in some companies may work this way--writing requirements for whichever new feature they are handed to work on--but omitting deep content on the user research and feature prioritization portions of the PM role is a big oversight.

I generally enjoyed it and found it easy to follow.

However, although it was only an introduction to software PM, I still found the course a bit too basic and I would have liked to receive deeper information about different tools available to start, process, plan, and monitor software PM projects.

I would have liked to receive info about DevOps too.

The instructors seem like they are reading from a teleprompter, and it feels like they are robots. Also very bad transition editing between scenes. All instructors should use more body language, and explain the info as if they where giving a life class, not some verbatim script. Other than that is fine.

Great content overall. Only 2 stars because many of the links for reading materials are not accessible. When looking at the Course discussion boards I can see that this has been a complaint for years. Please update for new students.

Only the link agilemanifesto.org has real value in this course. The rest is self-PR and "water". I see no reason paying for the sertificate and I am not convinced further cources of this specialization will deliver greater value.

I am still in the first part of the 6 part course. I find the references materials is almost a decade old. I am sure, there are new age process and methodologies which have evolved.

Dry principles without real life examples and exercises. You can passed the quiz by just reading online or have basic project management experience. Disappointed.

A little disappointed in this course, it would have been better suited for the first part to a larger course other than a week long introduction to th subject.

Informative, but I kind of knew a lot of the material. Was hoping to learn something concrete and useful. I'm hoping the next courses will be informative.

Too basic even for someone coming from a biology background into programming. It looks like it is targeted for students finishing high school.

Very, very basic... more like fishing for customers to apply for the other courses. Yet, still quite the motivated and enthusiastic team.

Basically it'a like an advertising for the future courses which will give you deeper information

Extremely basic. Spent more time introducing the tutors than telling us much about the topic.

Defiantly the worse MOOC I have taken. Does the specialisation need such a long introduction?
