This was a pretty informative course. I did enjoy the activities they pushed me to learn new tech. good job. I only had a major technical issue with one activity, it was in week four.

I learned a lot about the initial phases of project management and the intricacies of jumpstarting a project. I liked being introduced to project management software that I was unfamiliar with.
