课程评价：

Comments 1 To be frankly, PMIPD is one of the most special lectures I have ever attend in Tsinghua University. (Obviously it’s unbelievable that I can have free breakfast and even drinks in the classroom.) From this class, I learnt about how an innovation is born and firstly trying to make an innovative product, discussing who might be the stakeholders and how to communicate with the potential customers. I played the role of CTO in my team, and continuously thinking about the technology of our product and how to turn the technology into the product. As a normal engineering student in Tsinghua, most of my time is being spending on thinking how to complete the course or turning scientific research and experiment into a paper but not turning it into a product. In facts only the research is turning into the product and being providing to the customer is the technology really going to make our life better. We shouldn’t ignore the procedure. What the course really attracts me is inviting two company to give an introduction especially the Senior from Davinci Tech showing the motorcycle and sharing the experience of Innovation and Entrepreneurship which has inspired me a lot. I think the course will be better if it continuously focuses on this part and I’m really looking forward to it.

Comments 2 First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to teacher Feng Zhu for designing this course aimed at helping students understand the importance of transforming ideas and knowledge learned in class into meaningful products.

Participating in this course has helped me get better understanding of the relationship between product innovation management and project management. I have been able to clearly understand some critical attributes of mindset for innovation, including, breaking the rules (always try to explore new paths), collecting ideas everywhere (it is quite necessary to interact with people from different backgrounds and fields so as to get inspired), believing in the impossible (it is important to be confident and be prepared to overcome any challenges/obstacles that may come your way during the implementation), etc. It is very crucial to be acquainted with the technology trends in the areas in which one would like to innovate. Moreover, the vision, mission and power/strengths are highly important elements to define carefully when diving into innovation. I also met many new friends with different competencies and various ways of thinking, which are important driving-forces for innovative thinking and product development.

In a nutshell, I believe that this course constitutes a great opportunity for students to develop or improve their innovative thinking and problem-solving abilities, and I encourage both Chinese and international students to consider taking it next time. Besides, the course’s instructor could consider extending the duration of the course so as to improve both the quality and diversity of the contents to be covered. Furthermore, considering awarding students with a certificate of completion could be very helpful for their career development since project management skill is a highly appreciated asset nowadays.

Comments 3 The content and instruction of PMIPD course covered foundations based on experience level. Here, I am going to highlight some specific areas covered by this course such as:

 Planning and defining scope

 Cost management tips

 Time management skills

 Organizational skills and tips

 Collaboration & Communication skills

 Leadership skills

 Risk management and contingency planning

This focus of this course not just covered theoretical based topics but also provided us with practical practice on how to initiate our project in the real market. This course also helped us how to collaborate and worked as a team by focusing on a clear vision & mission.

Comments 4 Throughout these two days, I have learnt a lot about product development tactics such as business model and roadmap. After deciding a team’s role division, it is crucial to use clear and comprehensive written methods to record our progress from innovation to development thus execution. The examples of LEGO and Gillitte helped us to understand and practice these tools. Particularly, the 9 blocks in the business model were brand new while useful for me. It easily reminds me of which aspects of cost and revenue I miss when pushing forward new ideas. Also, project performances indicators provide us with a guideline to carry out management plans more effectively and efficiently.

Overall, this is a rewarding course that trained us well with product sense, collaboration opportunities and presentation experiences. I would like to recommend it to my friends as well. Thank you for all teachers’ and guest speakers’ great effort.

Comments 5 “仅两天的课程如何学习项目管理和创新管理？”参加课程前的疑问在16个课时后完全消失，朱老师的课是清华少见的非常自由灵活的教学方式，注重互动和启发，并且邀请创业和风投前辈亲临介绍真实经验，在有限的时间内通过最基础的知识+最充分的实践，使易让人感觉大而空的管理知识和方法很好地被学生吸收和掌握。跟随课程节奏到达课程结束，我们A小组聚焦年轻人心理问题的产品也顺利完成，看到小组最终完成成果自己也不由赞叹。在课程中，也有幸认识了来自不同国家和地区、不同学院的同学们，互相交流，非常开心。

特别认同老师结课赠言时提到的终身学习，也感谢老师的赠书，希望自己可以成为一个终身学习的人，即使一步步走的很慢，只要方向正确，就比站在原地更加接近终点。
