I absolutely loved this course! It was so refreshing. I almost gave up on Coursera because the courses for one of my previous certifications (from a prestigious tech organization) were incredibly tedious, redundant and overwhelmingly BORING, but IBM and it's "Product Owner Cert" rejuvenated me to the point that I'm actually excited and looking forward to taking future courses/classes/certs on this platform. I've learned so much and I even had an "aha epiphany" moment and I now know what I want to focus on as I develop my new career path!

One of the things I really appreciated was how well-structured the course is. It walks you through key responsibilities in a way that makes sense, and the real-world examples help connect theory to practice. The emphasis on prioritization, communication, and continuous improvement really drives home what it takes to be an effective Product Owner. Plus, it reinforces the importance of user feedback and making data-driven decisions—two things that are critical in Agile product development.
That said, I think the course could have gone a bit deeper in some areas. It touches on important topics like scaling Scrum and measuring product success, but I would have liked more advanced strategies and maybe even some hands-on exercises to really bring the concepts to life. More interactive elements, like case studies or real-world problem-solving scenarios, would have made the learning experience even stronger.
Overall, this is a great course for anyone looking to step into a Product Owner role or improve their understanding of Scrum from a business perspective. If you're brand new to Agile, you'll get a ton out of it. If you're already experienced, you might find some sections a bit basic, but it's still a solid refresher on the core responsibilities of the role.

The content is good but I reckon it could be shorter or included across other modules. Also, the job listing activity takes too much time and the AI tool does not work properly. It shouldn't be mandatory for the PO certificate.
