About the Course

In this final, capstone course of the Google Project Management Certificate, you will practice applying the project management knowledge and skills you have learned so far. We encourage learners to complete Courses 1-5 before beginning the final course, as they provide the foundation necessary to complete the activities in this course. As you progress through this course, you will “observe” a project manager in a real-world scenario and complete dozens of hands-on activities. You will: - analyze project documents to identify project requirements and evaluate stakeholders - complete a project charter and use it as a tool to align project scope and goals among stakeholders - identify tasks and milestones and document and prioritize them in a project plan - define quality management standards and explore how to effectively share qualitative data - demonstrate your project’s impact through effective reporting By the end of this course, you will have developed a portfolio of project management artifacts that will demonstrate the skills you have learned throughout the entire program, such as your ability to manage stakeholders and teams, organize plans, and communicate project details. These artifacts can exhibit your career readiness when applying for jobs in the field. To further prepare you to interview for project management jobs, you will reflect on past projects, develop an “elevator pitch,” and anticipate common interview questions. Current Google project managers will continue to instruct and provide you with the strategies, tools, and resources to meet your goals. After completing this program, you should be equipped to apply for introductory-level jobs as a project manager. You will also have the opportunity to claim a certification of completion badge that will be recognizable to employers....

This course is fantastic! Though I am a skilled project manager; there are some good takeaways from this course; and Google Instructors talk about the best practices used at Google in a lucid manner!

Me ha encantado el curso. A través de los 6 cursos te van guiando sobre el maravilloso mundo de la Gestión de Proyectos, tanto en la parte teórica pero sobre todo en la parte práctica. Compartiendo recomendaciones, opiniones de profesionales, etc.

This course allowed me to apply the tools and information gained through the entire certificate...but in a guided and safe context. I appreciated the Capstone element to the program so much!

Out of the whole program the Capstone and Agile Project Management were the most useful. They were realistic, and pieced everything together.

I recently completed the Capstone: Applying Project Management in the Real World course certification offered by Google on Coursera, and I found it to be a highly informative and engaging learning experience.

The course covers a wide range of project management topics, including project planning, execution, monitoring, and closing. The instructors provide clear and concise explanations of these concepts, and they offer numerous examples and case studies to help illustrate how they can be applied in real-world scenarios.

One of the strengths of this course is its focus on practical skills and tools. Throughout the course, you are given opportunities to practice using various project management tools, such as Gantt charts and risk management matrices. These exercises are highly valuable for anyone who wants to gain hands-on experience in project management.The capstone project at the end of the course is a highlight. It challenges you to apply what you've learned to a real-world scenario, and it provides an excellent opportunity to showcase your skills and knowledge to potential employers or clients.

Overall, I highly recommend the Capstone: Applying Project Management in the Real World course certification offered by Google on Coursera.

All In all I loved the program. I did all 6 courses in the Google Certificate Program.

This seemed to be the most tedious, but I also feel like in the work situtaion of walking into a new job and being asked to organize things into Projest manadment processes this is pretty true to life.

Somehow I would have loved to have a project of my own work be analyzed by a project manager. Maybe like a project Charter.

I have a lot of information to review; I thought the content was excellent. I struggled at times with the structure. Some instructors told me what they were going to say, said it then reviewed it, making it much easier to take detailed hierarchical notes. Others jumped around a bit requiring a lot of replays of videos. I like the document templates and have a file to use for reference as well.

Great course, a bit challenging at the end, but great to apply the ideas learned on the 1-5 courses of project management. I love it =)

Everything was good but it would take a while to get my projects grade

By FRED F

Nov 25, 2021

was not what i expected

was alot more for people who want to meet google employees, and look inside google

rather than learn basic, universal project management skills

but, since it does say google certified project manager, then of course its going to be a lot of talking about google.
