A beginner course for intermediate experience it seems! This course was hard to get through due to the setup and execution. While it provides really great information for someone like me who has no knowledge or experience with Product Management, I don't think it is truly for beginners. The voice for the videos is very hard to listen to and I kept falling asleep and then the assignments left me out in open water without a paddle. You are given an assignment, but there is no "answer" or "example to compare it to, there is no grading of the assignment to know if you are on the right track or doing it correctly so it seems they are more for intermediate learners rather than the newbie beginners. This I feel like is the biggest issue. I did the assignments but can't tell you that I have even the faintest clue if I am doing it correctly. I would love to see this fixed and come back to do it over. Really would not recommend this course for this reason but otherwise I found the feedback and the expert opinions nice.
Unfortunaly the titel of the course and the certificate doesn´t match.
This was a great entrance into product management! Very good structure and well thought out. I liked the mix between videos, real world expert field feedback, and exercises.
Rightly articulated and well structured covering all that is needed for an introduction. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to gain a solid foundation in Product Management.
This a an easy to understand course into learning Product Management. It breaks down fundamental step by step product management processes.
excellent course, very innovative and immersive. Examples are good and expert talk on every topic gives real insight into those topics
The expert videos were pretty useless and verbose, while the case studies were basically the content re-written with the names of people in front of them. Needs more accurate and improved material, this would be something a first year at college would study, or even possibly high school.
It's just an AI voice reading repetitive information, don't waste your time and money, buy a book istead.
The interviews were way too much of a waste of time.
Product management is a challenging and multifaceted discipline, and even as an experienced Product Manager, I found this course to be highly valuable. The content is well-structured, coherent, and provides a clear overview of the current body of knowledge in product management. What I enjoyed the most were the expert insights woven throughout the modules, which brought a realistic and practical dimension to the theory. For me, this course was not only a refreshing way to validate and standardize my expertise, but also the first step toward pursuing the AI Product Manager Professional Certificate. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of what product management is truly about.
EXCELLENT COURSE !! really valued and learned a lot from this "FIRST STAGE" can't wait to start on the second one. And just take it one step at a time at my own pace to be able to comprehend all aspects of the course. But the way the course is structured really helps me understand the basics and the foundations of becoming a good PM. Thanks a lot to the teachers and all the feedback I received from the videos from the PRODUCT MANAGERS I GIVE THEM ALL AN A+for their efforts.All in All it was a wonderful phase 1, truly kept me motivated to pursue this challenge.
The course is really helpful to know the fundamentals of Product Management and Product Manager’s roles and responsibilities. Especially it was great that they have provided the Expert Opinions in this course. This course covers the basic concepts and have the opinions and suggestions from Product Managers, SME’s who are working in industry. Thank you IBM and Coursera for providing this course with detailed explaination of concepts.
The course is great to discover what is product management, its complexity and benefits in and for a company. The different modules cover theoretic concepts like product development, value creation and gives an understanding of the approaches, methods and overall structure of product management department. I think it gives the very basic and if you have a business background, topics might be redundant.

The tests and exams were right on point too! Thank you very much for this course!😁😊
Really good introduction to Prod Mgmt and the expert views in particular were so helpful - an inspired addition to a course like this. Getting access to advice from experienced professionals is difficult so that really made a huge extra contribution to my learning in a very practical way. Thank you :)
