Great concise course with very good pacing. The lecture on Lean was the one I appreciated the most. The instructor was able to condense and express what he wanted to in a very efficient manner.

I am a working structural engineer with an MNC. Having to go through the concepts of project management has now given me an edge over other peers who have restricted views of a project only in line with the structural designs
