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!

The course is well structured. It was a very good opportunity to deepen my knowledge in project structure and management. Further, it efficiently let a learner experience important processes in project management.
The contents focus on practical aspects; to be conscious of scope, to identify and manage risks, to pace according to timeline. In my working environment, I used to spend more time in assessment (before the project) and reporting, yet, the lessons were not reflected and the risks were not well managed, which is also an organizationa habit and culture. During the course learning, I started changing the style in my unit; it seems easier to other team members. Culture of the organization does not easily change, however, I think I gained better confidence in asserting risk management and projecting strategy.

The Project Management course provided an excellent foundation in key project management concepts, from initiating and planning to executing, monitoring, and closing projects. I particularly appreciated the hands-on approach, with real-world scenarios and case studies that helped me apply the skills I learned. The modules on agile methodologies and stakeholder management were particularly useful, as they deepened my understanding of how to deliver projects on time, within scope, and to the satisfaction of all parties involved. The course was well-structured, and the instructors were clear and engaging. Overall, this course has significantly enhanced my ability to lead projects with confidence, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to strengthen their project management skills.

Out of all the courses I have taken so far, this one was the most intense and the most grueling. There was a huge amount of information to learn and apply. I am still overwhelmed that I completed the course before the end of the year.
My only regret would be not being more involved in the discussions with the other classmates. There are also areas I will need to revisit so that I make sure I completely understand the lessons that were supposed to learned.
Overall, this specific course was a bit overwhelming since there was so much to learn. Anyway, I managed to get thru and glad I stuck it our until the end. My goal going forward will be to prepare for the Project Management Certification. Thanks to the instructors and all the folks who had input into the course.

This course is amazing, great presenter and the way it delivered its really understandable. To be honest, I am really really afraid when I enroll this course because my English is not really good enough. I am really really scared that I will not finish the course on time and just waste my money. But after follow the course , i do falling in love with this course. I even learn some new vocabularies during the course.
So many things i have learned from this course from the day 1 I join the Foundations of Project Management until the last course Capstone : Applying Project Management in The Real World. Thank you very much for Google and Coursera Teams for bring this course. Hope to see you in the next course. Keep up the good work!!!

This course6 was pulling it all together and made me understand the reason of the previous courses 1-5. If we had more interaction with groups of people in the same course that will be great to have an option to join a group to learn together and grade each other assignments to push each other to get to the end of this tunnel. However, I'm very happy to finish all 6 courses and feel more equipped to apply to an Project Manager entry level role. Also, will be taking the Agile on that 40 percent off for the exam. Thank you so much the "Mom Project" Career Circle, Google, Mentors, and all others that support us through these trying times. Take care, Be safe, Live happy, and strive to learn. :) Happy Learning

This course was informative and instructional. I enjoyed each course and looked forward to hearing and seeing the instructors. I congratulate you in have such a diverse group of knowleable instructors. I also enjoy the "guest speakers" that spoke about their roles and how they put their project management skills to use. They were not afraid to discuss mistakes that they made and how to overcome them. This was so important to me and I'm sure maybe many others that are moving into a new career in Project Management that we know that if we make mistakes there are ways to fix them and/or learn from them. Such a great course!! I look forward to taking another one soon.

This course is challenging but also very rewarding. It is time consuming. 6 weeks to complete would be more reasonable in my opinion, particularly for those juggling other responsibilities. The capstone very much reinforces all you have learned to date. I had many ‘aha moments’ upon finding some earlier course topics made much more sense in the context of a real-life project. (Quality management being one such example). The capstone will provide you with project management tools and workflows that are very much applicable to any work environment. Indeed, life in general. Put in the time, review the material, complete the assignments and you will reap the benefits.

What an awesome course! It has lots of hand on activities that we can apply in real world. I am super happy to get to learn this course. And it is the last course with google professional project management. Time to earn the professional certificate after this. After taking this whole professional courses, I am very confident to manage any types of project with the knowledge and experience I learned from here. Thank you so much for each and everyone of teachers in this courses from google and of course special thanks to Coursera for easy and efficient layout and access to download.

This was a great course to put everything together from the previous courses. This whole specialization was done really well for an online course. The hands on projects are really helpful, and the instruction videos are well written and nicely delivered. I feel ready for an entry level project management role after this course, but nothing more complicated than that. I did this course at the start of my career development journey, and I think it was a great decision to start with. Now I have a foundation of knowledge to build on. Thank you.

I am delighted to share my positive experience with the Project Management certification. It has been an incredible journey that has greatly enhanced my project management skills. I highly recommend this certification program to anyone looking to broaden their knowledge and improve their project management abilities. The training provided valuable insights and practical tools that can be applied in real-world project scenarios. I am grateful for the opportunity to expand my skillset and confidently navigate the challenges of project management

I found much of the course useful. Much of the material is presented repeatedly from different angles, which I found useful in trying to help me learn the content. I particularly enjoyed the Agile course and burndown charts. User stories were particularly useful as well. The final project, a waterfall style PM project was rather good and helped me get practical experience with it. My only recommendation would be to make course content easier to download. I wish there were a big zip file available for download with everything in it.

Seeking for the best updated trusted management course, it was an amazing opportunity to join and enjoy Google certificate journey, not only the destination of course. It has not only introduced many new theoretical ideas for me, but it also helped me to practically apply the newly learned or highlighted skills, as well. I also appreciated the course structure and the various ways of assessment. I am much confident now with my management skills especially after being aware of the templates, software, and management methods.

Being out of traditional school for some time now, I had my hesitations on if I would be able to retain information as I should. But, the way the lessons are presented , then represented in another way, I found myself recalling information and feeling more and more confident. I am beyond grateful to have had this opportunity to grow my skills and possiblities for myself in a different career path. So, for that thank you so much. I've decided to finish my BS in Information Tech - Thanks again!

Compared to other courses from the same set, this is the most challenging course since it is a Capstone. I learned a lot and was able to practice what I learned even if it was only an imaginary scenario. The other reviewers were also kind enough to provide constructive criticism on my submissions.
Unlike other courses, the grading of works are delayed since they are not quizzes and are peer-reviewed, so it is understandable that this course may be longer than other courses in Coursera.
Thank you.

Great program!
I feel that I have learned and gained some immensely valuable knowledge that will help me land my dream job. My background and experience is in teaching so I already had most of skill sets and experiences similar to professional project managers. Completing this course will help me translate my current skills into a new career field outside the classroom. It's great for anyone and everyone that wants to learn the basics of project management or looking to start a new career..

This was a great learning experience and found the hands-on assignments and especially the Capstone project very helpful in terms of getting actively involved.
I just wish I had more time to focus on the course and could have possibly completed the course sooner but having to balance a fulltime job, family obligations and another fulltime online course forced me to put this on pause at times.
Otherwise, great learning platform combining media, reading, peer reviews and hands-on assignments.

Capstone: Applying Project Management in the Real World has really taught us how to apply the Great course made by Google in project management. I never experience such elaborative, easy understandable, and implementable course so far as this is. More to the tutors who has explained in such a way that the person has no back ground will be a true project management professional after completion this course. So, great thank to Google and its dedicated team.
Thank You./ Indu Kumar Sharma

This has been the best short course though not so short per se..I have enjoyed my learning process from watching the lecture videos to the extra reading materials provided and the activities which were manageable. I hope many others enroll and find motivation from us who have finished. At the beginning, i felt like 6months was such a long time but it went by so fast and here we are done and looking forward to the next thing. Thank you Google team for this opportunity and be blessed.

This is a very immersive course with many "hands-on" assignments. Even though I already have an MS in Project Management, a lot of information was covered that I saw for the first time (some of it seemed to be Google-specific, some not). It takes a minute (6+ months) to do the entire six modules, so don't think you're going to blast through the 6 modules and call it good! However, you have the opportunity to extend your due dates when you get behind; hey life happens to everyone!

It was a great learning journey with amazing discoveries. All the six courses are well organised and having compact content. This course covers up both traditional/ waterfall & agile approaches of the Project Management. Peer-graded assignments & Capstone (Course-6) will provide you confidence in applying PM concepts. Thanks a lot to Coursera and Google & MUJ (Sponsor) for providing me opportiniuty to learn PM concepts exquisitely. Overall, it was a great learning experience.

Taking this course was an enlightening experience that truly got my brain working in new and unexpected ways. The material presented challenged me to think beyond conventional boundaries, often pushing me to explore creative solutions and approaches. It's a great course for anyone looking to break out of their comfort zone and develop their critical thinking skills. Highly recommended for those seeking to expand their perspectives and tackle problems with fresh insights.

Once again, the team at Grow With Google brings a course that is beyond expectations. I enjoyed every second of the video classes, especially when the instructors congratulate the students, that was such a good surprise that I had to watch it a few times. One thing that caught my attention is that the course is not easy, it's not meant just to sell, it's a real hands-on, practice-based course. This course is among the best investments I have made in life.

This course is very comprehensive. I learned a lot about project management from the foundation to capstone project. Here I learn how to manage a team of experts, how to communicate with stakeholders, how to escalate a problem that might arise in a project, how to use waterfall and agile management style, and how to grow my career. Google gives a very comprehensive course, they even give job search tips ;). Absolutely fantastic course and I'd recommend it!

The last of the 6th course of the specialization. I really feel that I have grown in the management area. Even my personal projects are more organized and efficiently managed. Very practical, with a good way to experience project management in the real world.
For me, your method is the best. Is an effective e-learning training. Thank you to all the team! Especially to google instructores!Thank you coursera and google for opening this opportunity.
