I have really got a fine refresher through this course. One of the basic idea of preparing PACE strategy document and understanding on RACI matrix was new for me. I recommend this course to every one.

Good intro. Was able to move through quickly to suit my level of comfort with material. Was more about filling in some practical details for me, rather than introducing me to a 'whole new world'.
