I was expecting more specific stuff. I've already used Excel and Power BI during high school and for my bachelor and this course didn't bring me much more. But for beginers, this training is a good starting point.

This course is very short and very basic. Much of the content is around trivial adjustments like making titles bold. The instruction around project management-specific visualizations is very thin and limited to Microsoft Excel. Anyone looking to create true dashboards on the topic of project management, as the title suggests, will be disappointed.
