What people are saying

very good course

Very Good A Very good course, with a series of techniques that we can apply in the day to day.

excelente Very good course Very good, but I wish for more analysis of what self-destructive metrics mean and how to handle them (who own the metric, etc) I found the concepts beeing presented "generalized" - and not as dedicated to specific SPM scenario's.

Very good course, but also long and with many details.

product management

Expected much more than I saw...2) More up to date literature for reference (this is general concern on all Product Management specialization courses).3) Link the advises in the course to budgets.

I recommend it to every stakeholer in software development and product management!

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.

You don't learn something new if you have been working at least 1 year in product management.

best course It's challenging to teach and learn product management through an online course.

A product management does a lot of her/his work by talking (to many different people involved), which is very difficult to train online (it could be done with role playing assignments supported by video conferencing, but I think learning from experienced colleagues in practice is a much better way).

The quizzes are often a good way to rehearse the topics that have been explained, but sometimes feel like an extremely simplified black-white view on very nuanced issues.The best parts of the Software Product Management courses for me were the larger assignments you make that are reviewed by fellow students (getting feedback is very useful and it's also instructive to see what approach your peers took) and the interviews with experienced product managers which offer valuable insights in the complicated situations product managers often have to deal with.I recommend this course to anyone that is new to software product management and quite new to software development.

Great course that teaches how to measure Product Management work.

done right

Highly practical guide on how to develop the right product, done right, and managed right.

This particular course is very important for control and monitoring of taks and it is excellent to understand what is a metric and how it is done right with goals.

software development

I have enjoyed very much this course and I highly recommend it to anyone interesting in software development.

other courses

I feel the information given in this course would have been better served in parts of other courses.

Comparing to other courses in this specialization, this one felt very dull and not useful on its own.
