Great course, the examples used clarifiy the use of some concepts such as milestone or constraint. I gave it a four and half stars because the interface used by Microsoft Project online is different from the desktop version used in this course. A little update of the course for those that uses the trial online version would have been much appreciated and would have earned a perfect 5 stars for the course.

This is pretty much a general tutorial on MS Project, it could be about any topic as it has nothing to do with real software projects, unless you are developing a project 20 years ago with Waterfall, I was interested to see how to manage iterative projects, but nothing real about software planning here.

Quality Instruction; Instructors explain by giving step by step instruction along with visual aides so you're able to view what you should be doing and how it should look.
