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.

Everything was good except the getting marked by other people. I dont think its the best way to practice and the course should design some way to get more practice in for RACI and Project charter.
