The instructor did a great job of covering the main topic (KPIs) and all the supporting knowledge areas (statistics, data presentation). I enjoyed the pace and found value in the exercises and examples provided.

Great course. This course not only explains about KPI but has you going through exercises to work through problems on getting you to understand why to choose specific KPIs.

Deepika is amazing, she explains so well and at a good pace, I HIGHLY recomed it! Please make more content for KPI and Power BI because it's hard to find a good course like this one. Thank you!

I advice this course for beginners like me , who had little to no previous knowledge in KPIs, how to establish KPIs and monitor them , Statistics , Dashboards, etc.

By Emad Hamdi on 5/27/2020

Course is so concise but comprehensive in the same time. It is so informative if you have already the least previous experience in strategic management, otherwise you need to do some homework in search for some terminologies and knowledge in depth.

By Tracey Kays on 1/13/2020

This was a really good jump into learning about KPIs. Also really enjoyed learning the basics about formulating charts. It went very quickly and I think I would have benefited in a slower speaking class so I didn't have to keep pausing to make sure i understood. The CC was really helpful but had several errors that threw me off. Very knowledgeable teacher obviously!
