Exceptionally well put; following on the steps of the two previous courses, this course will guide individuals with interest in project management through some of the most important aspects of the professional body of knowledge and practices of the PM job.

I highly recommend this couse with anyone who is interested in starting a career in PM. For practioners, it would be hard for me to imagine that the course will add new knowledge to you, but it is certinly a nece refresher with some intellignet tips here and there.

I was able to own: Planning and organization skills, organization skills, project management skills, project planning, planning, analysis and risk management. I add that project planning is a group activity, not an individual activity, and everyone who will be involved should be part of developing the project plan and agreeing on deadlines, resources and what needs to be done, and should also be able to see the project plan on an ongoing basis to check what needs to be done. Thanks Curesera -Google

Hi,

To be honest I was really worried about this course when I read that we would be discussing things like budget and the procurement process. But the course material and the practice exercises are so well designed that not only did I complete the course, I did so with flying colours. Have scrored the highest in this course so far on my learning journey and I'm feeling extremely happy and confident about completing the remaining 3 courses too. :)

Thank you so much for making learning fun and easy!

Excelente, las presentaciones son muy detalladas, accesibles para un rango amplio de usuarios. El curso en sí, más allá del contenido, me ha dado herramientas en su formato para aplicarlas y tenerlas en cuenta a la hora de preparar mis actividades académicas. De más está decir que el contenido del curso es una herramienta funcional, versátil y fungible para múltiples áreas en el mundo complejo que estamos inmersos hoy. Me alegro de haber tomado la iniciativa, ha sido fructífera y satisfactoria.

This course is exceptionally amazing ! I love the way how the course has been structured and the materials was to the point with extreme clarity. The course is very well relevant to the course title ,The tutor and the course planner should be applauded for their professional organisation and planning skills !Thank you so much !

This is how a course should be ! Felt satisfied of learning something without doubt due to the appropriate practical exercises ! thanks again team !

While I do understand the value of peer reviewed grading, unfortunately what I'm finding is that many assignments are incomplete or wrong, and it is taking a significant amount of time to correct and give feedback, meanwhile, it takes longer still to receive grading for my own assignments. I would suggest a priority queue, where after having completed the peer-grading requirement, your submitted assignment would get bumped up to those who are in the process of grading.

So informative! There are many hands-on assignments in this chapter, and I really felt connected to the course material! I likened it to finally needing to be sure about your college major, because you're in the thick of doing the work and if you don't like it by now....it might not be your thing. I was very EXCITED to continue learning and can't wait to get to the next chapter! Congrats on making it to 4/6, and good luck if you're thinking about starting!

Night and day compared to the Course 2.

Course 3 is awesome! It requires you to LOGICALLY think on a problem or question rather than paying attention on the irrelevant information (as in Course 2).

In Course 3, the questions and answers, the problems and solutions, the tasks and review methodologies were totally clear and straightforward.

There were, of course, some hick-ups, but only a few and nothing serious to have an impact on the whole impression.

I enjoyed this course as much as I have since the first one. I did not rate the second course because I wanted to mention the tutor's name and that passed. My Apologies for skipping it, but it was also excellent like this one. I'm in the process of project renewal helping to plan with my manager and this course is very beneficial, thanks to this knowledge. Looking forward to the next one as next month we start a new project with the stakeholders!

Very useful, very well put together, with a lot of activities and examples to really share knowledge. And the other students in this course were very useful fo offer new perspective. Thank you for this great course. With this cession of the certificate, you can now have a better view of what is really project management and all it implicates. You can quickly understand that it is really a team effort, and you are merely a "chef d'orchestre".

On behalf of the learning journey, I’ve gained more practical tools in PM. The most important takeaway for me is: 1. I gained a perspective of continuous learning: learning by doing and practicing. We can improve ourselves no matter what you’ve achieved in the workplace. 2. Methodology simplifies the work process and accelerates its pace. 3. Both in the workplace and personal lives, we can use PM technical to improve our quality of life.

If you planning to get started in project management, this is one of those important course you need to take. Google did a wonderful job with this course and I learnt a lot myself like communication: its value and best practices, project documentation : tools, value and best practices, Budgeting: techniques, best approaches and so on down to risk management, procurement, scheduling and more. I had a wonderful experience with this course.

The organization of the content is excellent with a variety of videos, readings, quizzes, and activities. The material covered is perfect for a project manager or really anyone wanting to "bring order to chaos". Even on topics that I am already familiar with, there is always a small additional nugget of information that adds a new perspective or tool for my work. I'm deeply appreciative for the thoughtful way this has been put together.

I completed three the six courses in the project management course. The structure of these courses are very interactive, meaning you get the opportunity to view and create your own templates as you move through the course. The content is well put together and broken down in simple form which makes it easy to understand. Also liked being able to hear from persons who have been through the process. Loved and enjoyed all three courses.

Some concepts were really new to me like SMART, the P.A.R.I.S resume formula. There were many thing I did not know and this course provided me exactly what I wanted. It is a great course. I will advice students to take notes frequently when you take up this course it will be very helpful in actual project documentation. Maybe you are stuckup with something and can't find a way out, well your notes will lead you through.

I especially appreciated the emphasis on tailoring communication strategies to different audiences, a crucial skill often overlooked. The use of real-world examples and actionable tips makes the material readily applicable to various project environments. Whether you're new to project management or seeking to refine your communication skills, this course offers valuable knowledge and tools to enhance project success.

I enjoyed the course and it provides me with so much insights on project planning, one suggestion from me is to put a bit more emphasis on the Critical Path Method so students can learn how to identify it quantitatively, other than that this course is pretty well-made especially for beginners. Thank you Google and Coursera for making this program available, and thank you to Rowena for being a wonderful instructor.

Plan, Plan, Plan, Project Plant Pals... some case study to go in depth about project management. For sure to keep going with project management one of the first step is to be engaged any time, anyday and think everytime how to do better... a continuous improvement is a great dig onto to the ground to put all the acknowledgement. A very helfpul course for all whoever want to understand better and plan the best.

I came from marketing background so a lot of knowledge in the course is something I've already known from years of working experience, but it is still good to go through it and relearn in an organised way, Plus to get a certificate to put on resume.

This course provide solid knowledge and good practice on the assignments though the real world project planning is way complicated and a lot of roadblocks.

The entire course was amazing and really enlightening. I learned about the planning stage of the project, schedulling, budget, and risk management.

I also learned key skills such as vendor management, risk analysis, budget estimation, and procurement. I have implemented most of the skills and knowledge learned into my daily activities and I'm amazed at my growth.

Thank you for the learning opportunity

The course is very rich and easy to follow and I have learnt a lot, but for the communication plan part I felt not very sure about what I was doing, I felt the scenario for the quiz to create a communication plan was not clear enough. The role of each team member, the key key members were somehow overlapping for me and not that clear where to assign each team member to each task. Thank you

By far one of the best courses I've attanded! not only on project management, but in general! great work Google and Coursera teams. I would definitely recommend this (and all other courses in project management specialization) to anyone, who would be interested in picking up project management skills. special thanks to all your templates and guidances, and learning by doing techniques!

Excellent course. Reinforced many skills I have used in the past, but also taught me many new skills to implement in future projects. The instructor is great. Easy to follow and gives a lot of insight into her work at Google. Highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to improve their project management skills before starting a new project. Great tools for planning a new project.

This is one course that is very engaging, tasky and requitres a lot of critical thing. The ferquent assessment gave me room to go back and restudy what I have initiallyu learnt. I hve also been able to identify my soft skills needed to deal with teams during a planning process. I love the reading part of the course as I have to go through it over and over again. It was worth my time.

I would rate this course highly for its coverage of the course structure, the benefits of planning, key components of the planning phase, and milestone setting. By the end of the course, participants gained valuable knowledge and skills related to project planning and milestone setting, enabling them to approach projects more effectively and achieve successful outcomes.
