 We were very excited for our Bangkok trip, from may to oct we were only planning where to go, how to go and how many days to spend in each city. Since it was our first international trip and we were amateurs in planning we looked for the cheapest ticket from Mumbai to Bangkok and we got one from Mumbai to Bangkok via Kolkata. The journey was amazing (not the long hours of waiting at Mumbai and Kolkata) because when we boarded the flight from Kolkata, it was a group of people from central part of India travelling to Pattaya (for obvious reasons !!!)  they were all singing songs and sharing jokes across the plane, for a moment we thought we are travelling in a train.  Suggestion: Please take a direct flight, stopovers are a task, because some airports you need to collect your luggage and check-in again.  We reached Bangkok and it was visa-on-arrival and a few moments here and there, a form to fill up (please carry a passport photo), a thousand bath (Thailand's currenc...

-

 This is the final course in Digital Product Management Specialization. If you complete all the five courses successfully, the university of Virginia and Coursera issue a specialization certificate. 

What I learnt: This course covers a lot about SCRUM practice, how to manage an agile team, add values to the agile methods, managing the team, 4 buckets of development, SCRUM fundamentals, execution of the sprint, sprint planning and the ways to convert a big project into small sprints to deliver faster and continuous development to the client. 

My Experience: It was brilliant, Prof Alex Cowan has completed this course with amazing examples, skits and project. The best part of the course is the Spotify App example. (Spotify is a music app) an amazing case study of how they have agile methods, how they execute changes in those projects, co-ordination among different teams etc. I would recommend the course for an amazing experience and learning. 

Time Duration: 4 Weeks (as mentioned by coursera) I could complete it in less than a week.

It was lockdown all around, when my friend suggested for the course on Coursera. It's a beautiful app with many courses across various fields for the user to learn and upgrade the skills. I took this course in June 2020.  What I learnt: This course helped me understand that negotiations is not only about bargaining but a sophisticated and a detailed study & strategy about how to approach negotiations in every walk of corporate life. The course also helped me understand different types, styles, strategies and cross-culture negotiations which have been put across beautifully by Prof. George Siedel.

This course was getting deeper into digital product management  What I learnt: The course taught me how to manage the product pipeline, do fewer things better. The course also teaches about how to decouple problems and solutions and to find the right problem to give the best solution.
