I enjoyed this course, the mix of the video presentations and the powerpoints are well done. The instructor did an excellent job. the 'bonus videos' and 'panelist interviews' are very good as well.

This is a course that everyone somehow involved with project planning should follow. it gives a great inside on the technical aspect and organizational tips on how to plan and execute a project.
