What learners say
Budget and availability control was the module that mattered. It is the first thing every client asks about and the first thing that breaks.
Results analysis and progress reporting were explained with real examples. I stopped guessing at WIP.
Resource-related billing is barely covered anywhere else. It won me a professional services project.
