So much information was packaged in this course but it was so well organized and delivered that I was compelled to complete every segment. Well timed quizzes helped to ensure my comprehension as well.

This was a really great course. Really well structured and with excellent presentations. I particularly liked the way current Project Managers from Google presented. Thought that the structure of the course has set me up for the rest of the specialisation really well. Very enjoyable!

I learned a lot and even I remember many concepts that I´ve already know. I just want to suggest if you can put more volume at the videos, sometimes I had to up all the volume system on my laptop. Anyway, was a great course, I taken notes of everything and I´m exited about the next.

This first foundation really gives a great overall and basis to begin on. Their are so many pieces of the organization that I was not aware would be involved in this, however, you truly touch on the true principles of an organization and how the project management role plays a part.

It was really helpful taking this course, I mean I had no clue about PM but the way you put the information and the organization were amazingly nice.

I don't know if my review would be any helpful but for those who have second thoughts, believe me it worths at least giving it a shot.

This is a nice and simple introduction to the concepts and principles of project management. I feel that the instructor does a great job at introducing concepts and methodologies that you will be able to use in the moment, but will also expand upon in the later parts of the course.
