It was like an Oracle SaaS informercial most days, not real program management strategies. Mostly common-sense stuff. The case studies were confusing, but not discussed in class. A lot of jargons is all I got out of the class.

Class is rightly balanced between program management basics and their application in real world. Many of her students ended up in taking jobs as project and program managers in fortune 100 companies, she takes time to guide her students to prep for their job interviews outside of class time.

She goes by Nitu Parimi, I think. The class was very dry without much practical instructions on Program Management. The mid-term was tough, but she is an easy grader. Overall, not a very good class.
