Some problems with dashboard, grades are not showing at timely manner. Unlike first two courses.

Sample Template and Example Documents or Flowchart in PDF will be very appreciated

Nice Course, But quite taxing in terms of workload. The academical work is a bit vague and "unappliccable" to reality. V3ry nice if you want to start a career in Project Management!!!

by SMAug 8, 2019

Practical hands-on course that allowed me to create a project from start to finish.
