  • "I thought I was playing the role of Project Manager, but I learned from this class, I was just a project coordinator and missing the bigger picture of what a PM should do".
  • "Even though I have many years of PM experience in small and medium projects, the class and instructor helped me to be more complete and took home many techniques and templates".
