Very insightful. Compared to project initiation, this one is more intense and interesting. I'd suggest adding more "real-life" examples between PM and Sponsors/Stakeholders dealing with budgeting issues. Overall, it was good! Thanks

Risk is actually important in any project,even in business. Knowing how to identify risk is during the project phase is actually an eye opener. This course actually breaks down almost all we need to know to accomplish a good project.

Such a great value in this course, risk management and communication plan might not sound attrative, but it is the real deal. without it, it could take up to a month for your team to under who to call, when and how often. Loved it!

I thought I had a pretty good grasp on the Project Management role, but I was so wrong. I have learned so much with these first 3 courses.

All the instructors were equally engaging and the course material was plentiful.

Thank you
