The course is really good and gives a solid foundation of how Agile should work. Good balance between theory and practice. For course material, can u put the sequential numbering to easily find the page.

The trainer is amazing and the course was well taught. It would be even more helpful if there are some videos showing how Agile PM is actually practiced and also the templates/sample for the static/dynamic documents. Thank you very much.
