Learning Experience: Amazing content created by Googlers to make people understand about the project management concept with no prior experience. A hands-on approach helps in creating documents in agil and traditional methodologies.
Faculty: Faculty made sure you understand things clearly and every video has 2 questions about what the faculty talks about. Peer groups are made to check the assignments. The course is updated and everything about the structure, assessments and assignments are properly planned.
