I came to the course to learn about managing the remote teams. I was looking for the practical experience and advices. I was expecting to get real life example based on the years of experience that GitLab has working remotely. I've got something completely different and it disappointed me. I see this course as a set of slides that are read out loud by people working in GitLab. My expectations were certainly not matched. Maybe for the further iterations of the course it would be nice to make it more humane and real-life. What I liked is the set of materials Gitalb provided as a supportive materials for the course. There are a lot but it is easier to get them from there rather than look for the same on Gitlab website.

The course was structured in a logical manner, focusing primarily on the journey of transitioning a company to a fully remote work model. While it was evident that the instructors were well-prepared and articulate, the content did not align with my personal expectations. I was hoping for more practical tools and insights on managing remote teams effectively. Perhaps a more fitting title might be "Transitioning to a Fully Remote Business Model." As a global team lead in a multinational company that isn't entirely remote, I found the course less applicable to my needs. I desired more hands-on strategies and advice.

It was okay. I took the Inclusion course first which was outstanding so this was a little bit of a let down. I would have liked to have a few mini assignments that led up to the whole transition plan. Perhaps doing parts of the plan along the way would be better and allow the student to implement the smaller things that should be in a plan.

However, this course did provide some good insight which I appreciated having never worked remotely.

The course title should be more "How to transition to remote", as it's intended for companies/managers that want to move from non-remote approaches. I would have expected more content about how to handle remote team members and the struggles of not being colocated. Overall it has been a nice course.

Remote work may not always work.

I thought it was heavily based in promoting remote work.

The quiz could be well organzied. "All of teh above" shpuld come in the end, not as first point.

I found this course on How to manage a Remote Team to be a very interesting course and I learnt a lot from the course.

This is a great class for someone who is just starting in project management.

Very basic course

Not very practical if you are already managing a distributed company. In general it shows a lot of theory and it lacks of practical advices.

Quite general information and advice, not very detailed course.

few interesting management insights
