Agile Projects: Creating User Stories with Value in Taiga
This guided project was developed to engage and harness your visionary and exploratory abilities. During this course, you will use input from previous phases of project development. Together we will identify, map, and analyse User Stories which are the components that make up the themes of the customer experience with the product and service.
This is an important step for individuals or companies wanting to map value for customer to product features in new products or services; also, for enhancing their existing offerings. By the end of this guided project, you will be fluent in identifying and creating User Stories for agile projects.
We will discuss directions for the next phase of the project development; furthermore, the learned concepts and tools will help you generate solutions for use as part of your project management solutions and in presentations to various stakeholders.
Surviving Disruptive Technologies (On Demand)
The purpose of this course is to help individuals and organizations survive when confronted with disruptive technologies that threaten their current way of life. We will look at a general model of survival and use it to analyze companies and industries that have failed or are close to failing. Examples of companies that have not survived include Kodak, a firm over 100 years old, Blockbuster and Borders. It is likely that each of us has done business with all of these firms, and today Kodak and Blockbuster are in bankruptcy and Borders has been liquidated. Disruptions are impacting industries like education; Coursera and others offering these massive open online courses are a challenge for Universities. In addition to firms that have failed, we will look at some that have survived and are doing well. What are their strategies for survival?
By highlighting the reasons for the decline of firms and industries, participants can begin to understand how to keep the same thing from happening to them. Through the study of successful organizations, we will try to tease out approaches to disruptions that actually work. Our ultimate objective is to develop a strategy for survival in a world confronting one disruptive technology after another.

Content Strategy for Professionals: Capstone Project
The Capstone Project will let you demonstrate all that you have learned throughout the Content Strategy Specialization. It is an exciting learning experience that takes you through developing an effective Content Strategy package to meaningfully understand its scope and impact.
The Capstone is centered on a fictional web startup, Wish I Was There, which aims to be the go-to travel guide for anywhere in the world using recommendations crowdsourced from local experts. While it is not a real company, the assignment you are asked to complete is similar to the work you would do in the real-world. By the time you’ve finished developing your response to this case, you will see how it directly relates to what confronts you in your own work. For the Capstone assignment, assume you have been selected to develop a Content Strategy for the section of Wish I Was There’s website for the region, people and culture where you live and work. You will need to create a visual mock-up of a webpage that appeals to the audiences you want to reach as well as a comprehensive plan to engage with them.
Align Design Teams with SCAMPER Brainstorming in Miro
By the end of this project, you will be able to use SCAMPER brainstorming strategies to enhance product and service development by efficiently moving your team to the improvement and innovation stages of user experience and user interface design.
To do this, you will gain hands-on experience applying SCAMPER brainstorming strategies and visualizing the results in the Miro online visual collaboration platform for teamwork.
Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
Audience Demographics with Facebook Audience Insights
Throughout the project, you will be able to identify and choose the primary
audience you want to target, define your audience demographics and
identify your audience's preferred device and activities.
Moreover, you will also be able to analyze how people are engaging with
your page and view metrics about your page's performance.
Microeconomics Principles
Most people make the incorrect assumption that economics is ONLY the study of money. My primary goal in this course is to shatter this belief. During this course, we will be addressing the above questions as well as many more relating to:
-the environment
-love and marriage
-crime
-labor markets
-education
-politics
-sports
-business
My main goal is to show you the way economists think and how to use this analytical system to answer questions related not only to these and other important human issues but to anything you end up doing with your life after this class. After all, as you will quickly find out, I believe that everything is economics!
Managing an Agile Team
While agile has become the de facto standard for managing digital innovation teams, many wonder if they’re doing it ‘right’. Twitter is full of jokes about how teams say they do agile but don’t ‘really’ do it. The reality is that getting the most out of agile is less about observing specific procedures and more about how a team focuses and measures their progress.
Rather than just boring you with an accounting of agile methodologies, this course focuses on helping you better charter your team’s focus, definition of success, and practice of agile. While learning about agile mainstays like Scrum, XP, and kanban, you’ll also learn to help your team ask the right questions about how they’re working and facilitate good answers on how agile can help.
This course is supported by the Batten Institute at UVA’s Darden School of Business. The Batten Institute’s mission is to improve the world through entrepreneurship and innovation: www.batteninstitute.org.
