Effective overview of the importance of Project Management.
This was a great overview into some of the foundations of software project management.
Not really about Product Management, but about Project Management A good introductory course for those trying to get an introduction to the field of Product management Awesome for beginners A great starter!
Gives you basics you need to understand how project management work in software development wor Very interesting and informative course!
You can passed the quiz by just reading online or have basic project management experience.
It is more Software Project Management than Software Product Management.

Not too bulky either just perfect for quick learning about software project management Extremely basic.

Important Correction here, this course nor this Specialization seem to really be about "PRODUCT MANAGEMENT" they call it that but its all really Project Management for Software.

quiz questions
I probably would have rated 5/5, but felt some of the quiz questions sometimes were word games more than understanding if person understood concept...
Excellent good Good introduction but unnecessarily tricky on some quiz questions with English, not the course content.
The quiz questions are generally vague in some degree.
I really enjoy this introduction, I'm planning to keep taking the next courses Amazing & usefull A bit too basic and quiz questions did not reflect the real value of what was being learnt but was just poised at encouraging us to memorize sequences of facts more than anything.
You lost a star because some quiz questions are deliberately confused by language to make them harder.
Quiz questions should be made harder by being thought provoking or by requiring greater knowledge of topic.
Generally I find that some of the quiz questions are beyond obvious of being wrong and it diminishes the professional aspect of the course.
Excellent Course Overall good content and presented with enthusiasm, but a bit basic in places and some of the quiz questions were a bit ambiguous at times Excelente curso, muy bien explicado, fácil de entender.

real life
I felt the course was more theory heavy than practicals so if you could include real life examples/quiz more often in the course that would be amazing Wasted time, material is super common sense, I went straight to the quiz and was able to ace it using common sense, and then I watched the videos/read.
I feel as a new Product Manager I will be able to apply lessons learned in real life situations.
Simple and concise, delivering valuable insights that can be implemented in real life.
It's really very nice initiative for me and it meets my needs, solving real life problems.
Perhaps it needs deeper info and more real life examples Not suitable as a course on it's own - definitely more of an introduction to a more detailed course.
Concepts and contents were apt to real life scenarios Good instructors, great organization and great content Excelent to understand the foundations of product lifecicle Does well, as a Basic Course on SPM.

other courses
it's hard to understand keen English To basic for a current PM.Would recommend to jump into the other courses.
This course is intended to tell about other courses but contains not so much useful information by itself.
The video production quality, course structure and content is extra ordinary compared to other courses that I've seen so far.
It will probably be a good primer for the other courses.
Very, very basic... more like fishing for customers to apply for the other courses.
Great and thorough introduction Was good as an introductory course looking forward to other courses in this specialization.

agile manifesto
After having briefly discussed the Agile Manifesto, which emphasizes things like "People over processes," what is the first thing that they dive into?
Not sure how memorizing concepts from the Agile manifesto will help in becoming a better product manager.

rather than
The course material seems to be good, however some of the quiz questions test your ability to pay attention rather than the actual course content.
A bit easy, and the difficulty on the quizzes (if any) are more due to wording and semantics rather than actual understanding of the subject.But the course really leaves you with a good understanding of the role and its basis.
Excellent course More about Project Management rather than Product ManagementCource is just an overview of the specialization, gives no specific knowledge.Liked the instructors and their motivation.
Unfortunately, this course focuses on the role of an IT delivery manager / development team lead rather than looking at the business side a Product Owner or Product Manager will mostly care about.
