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!

This is an excellent course. The videos, reference materials, and assignments provide a great introduction to the fundamentals of project management. This course helps you take all of the skills learned in the previous 5 courses and synthesize them into a complete project. I highly recommend the Google Project Management Certificate program.

Very comprehensive course touched on all aspects of project management. peer review option was a fantastic one. that helps even to understand how different people look at the same problem and get to learrn from them. I personall real time applied this knowledge in project handling and also got a positive result. Thanks Google and Coursera :)

An excellent course with lots of hands-on activities to reinforce learning. This was the last in the 6 course series from Google and I can honestly say it was the best $40/month education I have ever taken. I truely look foward to applying these PM concepts in the real world. Good luck to everyone else who is interested in this PM series!

This is the most organized teaching method that perses the information for learners into the right portions. I would be highly enthusiastic to embark on another certification with Google leading the way although it took me a solid 6 months to finish the Google Project Management Professional Certification- highly recommend it for many.

Incredibly comprehensive, accessible, well-structured format, and top-notch content with exceptional delivery by very competent instructors. This program demystified project management principles for me. The hands-on assignments provided an excellent opportunity to get a sense of how methods, concepts and tools are used in real life.

This course was very exciting and allowed me to put much of what was learned to work in real-time. Having the ability to work with peers and learn from their approach definitely set me up for success.

I highly recommend the specialization certificate if you're looking for the first foot in the door into the world of Project Management.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was so clear and concise. TONS of information, but the dynamic instructors and various educational methods made it lots of fun to learn. Capstone really is a great review of the previous five courses in the Google Project Manage Certificate program. Thank you so much for an excellent class!

Great course, not for the faint hearted. This course takes commitment and effort, seriously have to work through this course piece be piece. However its all worth it, certainly brings all the previously learned courses back and you go through the whole process of managing a project from start to finish. Highly recommended :)

This final course is challenging because it requires a lot of hands-on assignments to apply the concepts to an actual project. It was good for that reason though. You leave the course with a lot of artifacts to serve you in future projects and are more likely to retain the concepts having walked through all the steps yourself.

The course content was well-structured and covered a wide range of topics relevant to project management, including project planning, risk management, stakeholder management, and communication.

I really enjoy this course. The examples are clear and really help me better understand the importance of the Project Manager role, and how to face different situations within the project development. I´ve already been implemented many of the recommendations in my day to day practice! It´s totally worth it and enriching!

There are many aspects I liked about the entire 6 courses. I will say there are some unneccesary exercises that only a true entry-level person may not know about already, but aside from that the rest of the content challenged my previous knowledge, expanded perspectives, and enhanced my project skills for the future.

The course is prepared professionally. I personally thank every Googler for real recommendations and reviews of the company's best practices that were presented here! It was exciting. For me, it was a retrospective of skills and updating of planning methods. I am grateful to the course authors, you are the best!

This is an excellent, thorough introduction to the skills one must use as a project manager. There is diversity in the way in which the subjects are taught and in the people who are teaching the lessons. The assignments help drive home the concepts they are addressing and are appropriate in length and quantity.

The flexible curriculum structure is very helpful for working people.The course narratives and study materials are excellent. Video anchors did their parts well. However, the disclaimer clause figured at the bottom of the course certificate could have been avoided as Google courses generally are online courses.

This program allowed for great real life examples , in addition to an in depth level of course knowledge. Providing multiple sections including; quiz/test , videos;readings and also peer reflection and individual product submission this allowed for content to be understood ; but more importantly absorbed.

Amazing experience with Google instructors. All six courses are well designed & content is very helpful. Best thing is that Google offers free access to many paid tools.

Highly recommended not only for those who are looking for career in project management but to those professionals of specific fields.
