Overview
Despite everyone's good intentions, hard work and solid ideas, too many teams end up creating products that no one wants, no one can use, and no one buys. But it doesn't have to be this way. Agile and design thinking offer a different--and effective--approach to product development, one that results in valuable solutions to meaningful problems.
This Agile Meets Design Thinking course offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Virginia can be applied to multiple Specializations or Professional Certificates programs. Completing this course will count towards your learning in any of the following programs:
- Agile Development Specialization
- Digital Product Management Specialization
What you will learn
- How to evaluate and explain the relevance of concepts and practices from the agile development methodologies
- How to create a strong shared perspective and drive to value using design methods like personas and problem scenarios
