I have really got a fine refresher through this course. One of the basic idea of preparing PACE strategy document and understanding on RACI matrix was new for me. I recommend this course to every one.

I believe a focus on the planning phase should come after getting familiar with the technical parts, as I feel like that is context you are missing to fully understand how to plan a data project.
