Solution

A Custom Release Planning Tool

Right off the bat we knew that quality software development is not done without proper strategic planning. As part of this production we developed a Release Planning Interactive Learning Object to emulate tools used by project managers for real world planning. The Release Planning tool contains critical functionalities to the software product management discipline that allows students to generate detailed tasks and create a release plan for their project that is then shared over the Coursera assessment system for peer review.

Results

An incredible engaging learning experience with hands-on examples and tools that ensures the student masters the required knowledge.

The SPM specialization has had over global 25,000 enrolments since it was launched.

Feedback from our international audience is filled with excitement and accolades for creating a highly engaging and unique experience.
