    I've been working with IT people for several years as business process specialist so I've learned on the job. I heard about many things you talked about but I lacked structure and methodology (namely according to project management). Thanks a lot for sharing this MOOC and even better with free exercices. It gives me a good overlook of the topics I should delve into.

    This was an incredible course that covered all the basics for someone that came from a background with little experience in software development to an entry-level position as a business systems analyst. I can't wait to start building on the foundation of all the holes this course was able to fill! Thank you, EDX and Universitat Politècnica de València!!!!

    As an absolute beginner to IS - IT project management, I learned a lot in this introductory course. I liked how things were explained. And I also liked having the chance of upgrading to a paid certificate after being able to see some of the lessons.
