The information was neat an told in a efficient manner. Good extra materials, and I think you can get good understanding of how to do a good VSM. Minor problems is that there were little or no helpful exercises on this (some minor "tasks" in video which werent really properly implemented), so practical task planning is left for user. There was also a mistake on the last exam, where question 5. in my case gave wrong answer, when the answer reply said that my answer was the right choice.

O curso apenas abrange noções teóricos e os conceitos do VSM e não explica efetivamente como se constrói e elabora um. Em nenhum momento sequer mostraram exemplos práticos. Não recomendo. Com uma simples pesquisa no google é possível aprender os conceitos aqui abordados. Não vale de todo a pena.
