STUDENTS’ REVIEWS

“I used to be a QC Engineer so the information about testing of non-functional requirements wasn’t new to me. But the rest of lessons were super practical and helped me with different perspectives on these topics.”

“The lecture by Marina Ruzio was extremely interesting for me. It was supported by clear real-life examples, and although I do not work with cost-benefit analysis right now, it really helped me to understand how the decisions are made on a business level.”

“Thanks for the course! A lot of new and interesting material for me personally and I love how you structured material. Many great tips - can't wait to use them!"
