Great course. As a PMP who's looking to sharpen business case skills, this is a wonderful course - beginners or experienced consultants/corporate strategy professionals to build business cases.

By Juan Ramon Montes de Oca Chavira on 6/24/2025

Me gusto la manera tan didactica de llevar el curso, ya que esto permitio un mejor claridad de los modulos aprendidos y comprender los puntos más relevantes del curso.

By Katherine Gill on 12/20/2024

Thoughtful, thorough course on business case development and execution. I've created them for years, but this course definitely helped me dig deeper and think more comprehensively about my business cases and exeucutive summaries.

By Michael Mahony on 3/5/2024

Detailed lessons that covers a lot of material in a very easy to follow format. I only mark off half a star because each sections is a little bloated, starting with little introduction, review of the last video and closing review of the video. I suspect this would be a markedly shorter course with those removed. Still, very good information that was accessible and enjoyable.

By Kevin Abarca on 1/23/2024

It's a very well-structured course, easy to understand, very good examples and the explanations are easy for you to see how it works. I have completed several of your courses, and I am without any doubts sure that I will complete more. Keep going, try to do one about scrum

By Arya Satrya on 1/18/2024

This course is straight forward and directly explaining important points that you need to know, easy to understand as the explanation is clear and presented with related case study example. Also, this course provides materials ( excell, ppt ) to self-study and to recall certain subject in the course.

By Madalina Hoffmann on 6/24/2023

It was an interesting presentation. The real life anecdote, though sensitive to some, mirrors real-life experiences, especially when competition between teams is concerned. The course is as advertised for beginners in project management. It is helpful for those writing a business case but serves also as a reminder for those experienced to make sure they are touching all the points when presenting the business case to the interested stakeholders.

By Anonymized User on 2/23/2023

The course has been excellently created covering all the key aspects and providing easy explanations. The real-life anecdote used to explain the topics is used very well. I would highly recommend this course.

By Anonymized User on 2/4/2023

The technical content was good, but the storyline with Sonya was insulting. I did not appreciate a storyline of a righteous young man in an existential battle with a villainous older woman. This insults both women and tech sector workers with significant experience. Ram didn't beat Sonya at her own game because his solutions or financials were better, but because Sonya behaved arrogantly, unethically, and illegally in many countries. Section 45 is particularly bad. I would suggest editing this course to remove that content.

By James Hendrix on 12/23/2022

An excellent treatment of developing a winning business case by Rahul, who is a gifted instructor. It does have a lot of overlap with his other courses but I feel that 1) it allows the course to stand alone and 2) it provides a refresher for some important tools.
