Included all needed knowledge of Scrum. Easy to understand, but it is better if including some additional examples.

Many practice questions do not have a corresponding lecture. Answers to questions are not well explained.

A tiring course but very complete and well structured course aimed at achieving the PMI / ACL ceritification. Thanks a lot!

The course has given great information about the application process itself. Initially, I assumed that it wouldn't be helpful, but it's very informative.

There is no other course that goes into the depth of numerous agile methods / frameworks that allows the learner course to gain real knowledge and insight into different agile methods and frameworks to better prepare them to pass the exam. I have one minor critique and that is with the exam section as several questions and templates are truncated possibility due to lack of character space. It threw me off a few times when trying to determine why an answer was incorrect but that could simply be a template issue as you can see the response is cut off mid-sentence. If you read the guide, you should understand the answers, as it is very helpful as are the slides.

The course is very dense, so there are a few sections where the explanations are not detailed enough to get the whole idea. I might need sometimes to do more research to fully get the concept. Moreover, the feedbacks in the quiz are often cut because pace is missing to fully display them.
