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!

VERY Basic. I was hoping to get helpful tips/insights from Googlers about how they go about their projects in real life. This course is very basic.

Taking this Capstone has been a trying situation similar to the discriminatory tactics used by Bank Of America. Unresolved conflict and intentional 'divide and conquer' strategies practiced KKK members that worked there. Sexual harassment and 'trial by fire' rituals. Seems as if it is a continuation of the racist ideals of this country - USA. This is the second that they've tried to force me to retake, even though they double billed for the courses and are still doing so, in spite of being notified.

I really hated this course in the sense that all activities were related to the same topic. You have to go back each time to previous content to understand what happened. If you are not planning to complete the course within the same week very hard to remember all the steps. In addition there were too much peer graded activities compared to other courses. I also found that a lot of content was useless in my case or redundant to other training courses

The course is very useful but when I have enrolled to Google Project Management: Professional Certificate course I did expect that I will get the Certificate where will be mentioned that I have completed all 6 courses: starting from Foundation to the "Capstone: Applying Project Management in the Real World". Thus, I am very disappointed. P.S. For future applicants: after "Project Execution" course there are no more certificates.

The peer graded assignments are not only a waste of time, but also annoying. They don't read the necessary scoring requirements or the projects, and getting people to even do a review sets you back time wise. I don't understand why you created this layout. I should've been done with this entire course a week ago, but waiting on other people, especially one's who can't even follow simple directions is beyond ridiculous.

Horrible system. Should allow students with project coordination and/or management experience to submit their own capstone project in the context of the course. Also having a graded peer reviewed assignment being one of the requirements to complete the final stage of the course is deeply flawed. I have been waiting for my assignment to be graded for quite some time, preventing me from achieving graduation.

Peer to peer review in an online world without accountability is not a means to success in receiving a certificate. The number of overdue and long inbox of peer-to-peer review items makes it near impossible to complete the assignment and receive credit for the course/certification.

I have doubt on the platform. I got financial aid for the google project management course. I finished all courses. But, coursera asks me to purchase the certificate . Actually, i dont need the certification. But why it asks me to purchase the certification ??

Overkill to the already completed coursework. Should be considered optional so the skill sets can be used in a real world job experience instead of coursework. The point of the coursework is to improve skill sets to start a career.

Why all my submitted assignments are missed. I have completed all already and I already get the certificate. Once i come back and check, I found out that the system shows I have not finished my certificate yet.

All good until peer review. Takes too long to get a response and most aren't thorough. They quickly grade without checking to make sure they chose the right points. Resulting in failed peer review assignments.

Very little instruction and every other step is an exercise which makes the user feel more like a guessing game. I think this is the worst of the series of instructions in the entire curriculum.

The Project Management Certificate had too many courses that were dependent on peer review and grading. It was not a go at your own pace course, as described. Especially the Capstone Course.

This course is buggy as hell. I had to resubmit assignments, rewatch videos, and unlock content more than twice.
