Dave made the course very enjoyable and easy to follow.
The lecture is very helpful overall, I wished we knew all these information prior to starting the project but I guess its not too late since we are starting a new phase of the current project we are working on. Dave has explained every bits that its in my mind to ask and he made everything clearer. Its a bonus that other frameworks/kinds of project management has been discussed to, makes me think that Agile is the more efficient way to do things.
There was a lot to cover in a short time, so as an introductory session it worked well as a large data dump! A bit uncertain as to how to proceed next, probably need to take one or two of the books mentioned on board.
