You have to pay for your certificate after completing the course, which makes it completely worthless on your CV or personal statement unless you're willing to pay to prove you completed it.

This course was packed with content, and all of it was helpful to know about. I would have liked more real-world examples of these things in action, and not just from reviewing peers' work, as I can't know how accurate those all are. But, it was worth it, and I would recommend this course to someone who needed to brush up on the basics and key terms of Project Management.

Discovering Howard University through Coursera the Project Management Essentials course was a revelation for me. As someone who had no prior knowledge of the university, I am incredibly grateful for everything it has offered me. Howard University's commitment to diversity and the wealth of perspectives it brings to every subject taught in the course was truly eye-opening. Learning from diverse cultural backgrounds has been an invaluable experience, one that I had not anticipated but am immensely thankful for. In today's world, where understanding and appreciating different cultural perspectives are more important than ever, Howard University stands out as a pillar of inclusivity and learning. I highly recommend the Project Management Essentials course to anyone seeking to broaden their horizons and gain insights. It's been a ten-star experience that has impacted my educational journey. Thank You , Sincerely, Jacob Russell Boyce.

This course on project management has provided essential insights into successfully leading projects from initiation through completion. Key concepts include defining clear objectives, creating detailed plans, and utilizing tools such as Gantt charts and Kanban boards. Understanding the Statement of Work, managing scope creep, and effectively using questionnaires and surveys to gather stakeholder feedback are crucial for delivering projects on time and within budget. These skills are vital for ensuring projects are executed efficiently and meet stakeholder expectations.

The course provides good basic knowledge. Introduces professionals with basic methods and skills for a more in-depth study of project management. My personal opinion is that this course does not yet give you the opportunity to work in this field - but it allows you to study further with a broader understanding and awareness.

As a beginner I have learned more that I expected. The information is useful and the AI Coach proved beneficial for cementing the topics/material presented. The coursework required more than 6 hours for me. If your are familiar with formal Project Management it may not require more than 6 hours.
