This is by far one of the best project management project planning courses I have taken here on Udemy. Joseph is extremely knowledgeable of the subject matter, and this is not the only course from him I have taken. He's as good as his courses on project management . If you are a new project manager who would like to be great at project planning, this course is your best bet.
