For people with so many years of experience in project and program management this course is useless. Additionally, the voice in videos is very high pitched, extremely annoying, and the video speed cannot be faster than 1.25x. I read the text much faster than it is presented in the video, that is waste of time. Last, you cannot get the certificate while you are on trial version in coursera.

Good overview; however, there are critical content differences compared to The Standard for Program Management Fifth Edition.

This seems to be using an outdated version of the program management standards. Also several of the videos seem to be out of order or something.
