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!

Best course I have ever taken (out of 20 or so). Filled with practical assignments and good examples. It is definitely a more time consuming course, but you will actually get your hands dirty with a lot of project management documents & skills.

The project is an accurate reflection of real world PM role with all the documents preparation. I was able to apply all that i learned throughout the course and was able to get through some challenging parts of communication and negotiation.

Excellent course for those who want a solid foundation in project management. The skills learned here are directly applicable to what you would learn taking a CSM, CSPO, or other foundations of project management course. Excellent quality.

This is the best part of the six courses, where you got to put to practice all you've learned along the way. It was fun, engaging, and challenging, and above all, I gained valuable knowledge on how to manage a project from start to finish.

I enjoyed the course, but really wish it lead to a PMP certification rather than simply a discount on the CAPM. Many of us already have PM experience, but the PMP exam is expensive, so a way to complete it would have really been helpful!

I really enjoyed the very straighforward and effective way in which the material for this module was presented. The exercises were very educational but not difficult to do and the video presentations were very clear and comprehensive.
