- “Become an Agile Project Manager” – This learning path gave me a great review of what I already learned about agile project management this semester, like SCRUM, sprints, product owners/managers, building out user stories, etc. I learned many new concepts too like how to use Microsoft Project specifically for use with agile. I was introduced to new tools like JIRA and VersionOne to create more efficient and detailed backlogs and sprints. This course built really well on what I already learned about agile throughout the semester.
- “Learning Design Thinking: Lead Change in Your Organization” – This course really emphasized the importance of looking through the eyes of the consumer when designing products and user interfaces. It also taught me how to structure a team and lead change, focusing on taking different approaches to groups/individuals depending on their skills, role, or personality type. I also learned how to create a service blueprint, which helps to identify problems that need fixing or additions that should be made to the product/interface along the user journey.
- “Microsoft Project 2016 Essential Training” – This course showed me many of the details and technicalities of managing projects in Microsoft Project. I learned the importance of scheduling tasks, creating appropriate timelines, the best ways to view the entire project, and how to balance all of these things to be in compliance with a budget. This course taught me the basics in management for Microsoft Project, and gave me the confidence to implement it in the workplace for a future employer.
