This is a great course! Videos are very explanatory and fast and the activities are interesting. I only missed a few examples before developing the projects. I really enjoyed the interaction with other students, in the form of correction of activities - this add a lot! the only problem is the delay in the correction of the activities, losing the term sometimes.

Great course to have an overview / a refresh of what Lean Software Development means. However some references (videos) are from more than 5 years ago. Although, Lean concepts havent changed, it would be great to have more recent references.

the "classifications" in the tests were a little subjective, in my opinion, it may be more effective to have examples and quizzes to periodically during the training modules to reinforce the classifications.

This is a great course for beginners to understand the concept and apply the basic understanding of the concept.

The assignments are great and test your conceptual depth.
