Agile Analytics (Coursera)

Offered by University of Virginia,
Agile Analytics (Coursera)

Few capabilities focus agile like a strong analytics program. Such a program determines where a team should focus from one agile iteration (sprint) to the next. Successful analytics are rarely hard to understand and are often startling in their clarity. In this course, developed at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia, you'll learn how to build a strong analytics infrastructure for your team, integrating it with the core of your drive to value.

This course is part of multiple programs
This course can be applied to multiple Specializations or Professional Certificates programs. Completing this course will count towards your learning in any of the following programs:

What You Will Learn

  • How to naturally, habitually tie your team’s work to actionable analytics that help you drive to user value.
  • How to pair your hypotheses on customer personas and problem with analytics.
  • How to test propositions (a la Lean Startup) so you don’t build features no one wants.
  • How to instrument actionable observation into everything you build (a la Lean UX).

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Introduction and Customer Analytics
Without an actionable view of who your customer is and what problems/jobs/habits they have, you’re operating on a shaky foundation. This week, we’ll look at how to pair your qualitative analytics on customer hypotheses with testable analytics.

WEEK 2
Demand Analytics
Why build something no one wants? It seems like an obvious question, yet a lot (probably >50%) of software ends up lightly used or not used at all. This week, we’ll look at how to run fast but definitive experiments to test demand.

WEEK 3
UX Analytics
Strong usability most often comes from ongoing diligence as opposed to big redesigns. Teams that do the hard work of consistently testing usability are rewarded with a consistent stream of customer wins and a culture of experimentation that makes work more enjoyable and rewarding.

WEEK 4
Analytics and Data Science
The availability of big data and the ascendance of machine learning can supercharge the way you approach analytics. This week, we're going to learn how data science is changing analytics and how you can create a focused, productive interfaces to a data science capability.

CS: Software Engineering CS: Theory

This two-part course introduces the basic mathematical and programming principles that underlie much of Computer Science. Understanding these principles is crucial to the process of creating efficient and well-structured solutions for computational problems. To get hands-on experience working with these concepts, we will use the Python programming language. The main focus of the class will be weekly mini-projects that build upon the mathematical and programming principles that are taught in the class.

Build a Modern Computer from First Principles: Nand to Tetris Part II (project-centered course) (Coursera)

CS: Software Engineering CS: Programming

In this project-centered course you will build a modern software hierarchy, designed to enable the translation and execution of object-based, high-level languages on a bare-bone computer hardware platform. In particular, you will implement a virtual machine and a compiler for a simple, Java-like programming language, and you will develop a basic operating system that closes gaps between the high-level language and the underlying hardware platform.

Machine Learning Rapid Prototyping with IBM Watson Studio (Coursera)

Data Science

An emerging trend in AI is the availability of technologies in which automation is used to select a best-fit model, perform feature engineering and improve model performance via hyperparameter optimization. This automation will provide rapid-prototyping of models and allow the Data Scientist to focus their efforts on applying domain knowledge to fine-tune models. This course will take the learner through the creation of an end-to-end automated pipeline built by Watson Studio’s AutoAI experiment tool, explaining the underlying technology at work as developed by IBM Research.

Solving Algorithms for Discrete Optimization (Coursera)

Computer Science

Discrete Optimization aims to make good decisions when we have many possibilities to choose from. Its applications are ubiquitous throughout our society. Its applications range from solving Sudoku puzzles to arranging seating in a wedding banquet. The same technology can schedule planes and their crews, coordinate the production of steel, and organize the transportation of iron ore from the mines to the ports.

CS: Software Engineering

System Validation is the field that studies the fundamentals of system communication and information processing. It is the next logical step in computer science and improving software development in general. It allows automated analysis based on behavioural models of a system to see if a system works correctly. We want to guarantee that the systems does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Digital Product Management: Modern Fundamentals (Coursera)

Management & Leadership

Not so long ago, the job of product manager was about assessing market data, creating requirements, and managing the hand-off to sales/marketing. Maybe you’d talk to a customer somewhere in there and they’d tell you what features they wanted. But companies that manage product that way are dying. Being a product person today is a new game, and product managers are at the center of it. Today, particularly if your product is mostly digital, you might update it several times a day. Massive troves of data are available for making decisions and, at the same time, deep insights into customer motivation and experience are more important than ever.
