About the Course

This is the fourth course in the Google Project Management Certificate program. This course will delve into the execution and closing phases of the project life cycle. You will learn what aspects of a project to track and how to track them. You will also learn how to effectively manage and communicate changes, dependencies, and risks. As you explore quality management, you will learn how to measure customer satisfaction and implement continuous improvement and process improvement techniques. Next, you will examine how to prioritize data, how to use data to inform your decision-making, and how to effectively present that data. Then, you will strengthen your leadership skills as you study the stages of team development and how to manage team dynamics. After that, you will discover tools that provide effective project team communication, how to organize and facilitate meetings, and how to effectively communicate project status updates. Finally, you will examine the steps of the project closing process and how to create and share project closing documentation. Current Google project managers will continue to instruct and provide you with hands-on approaches for accomplishing these tasks while showing you the best project management tools and resources for the job at hand. Learners who complete this program should be equipped to apply for introductory-level jobs as project managers. No previous experience is necessary. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Identify what aspects of a project to track and compare different tracking methods. - Discuss how to effectively manage and communicate changes, dependencies, and risks. - Explain the key quality management concepts of quality standards, quality planning, quality assurance, and quality control. - Describe how to create continuous improvement and process improvement and how to measure customer satisfaction. - Explain the purpose of a retrospective and describe how to conduct one. - Demonstrate how to prioritize and analyze data and how to communicate a project’s data-informed story. - Identify tools that provide effective project team communication and explore best practices for communicating project status updates. - Describe the steps of the closing process for stakeholders, the project team, and project managers....

I have a very difficult time listening to female voices, which makes the learning experience quite challenging for me. I wish there were an option to choose the gender of the instructor.

Overall very helpful. The project charter overview and exercises were comprehensive and useful. The sequence and depth of content related to project management tools should be expanded.

A good course. Though the documentations in Week 6 (Creating a Project Close Out Report Template and the Glossary in that same week) weren't shared correctly and couldn't be accessed.

ONLY REASON I'M GIVING THIS 4 STARS IS BECAUSE I CONTINUOUSLY GET "FAILED" AND HAVE TO RESUBMIT ON PEER GRADED COURSES BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO OPEN A GOOGLE DOC FILE.

Very comprehensive course

Howeever, suggested to reduce some content as as too much therotical concept which are indirectly connected with Project manager.

Very comprehensive. One needs to keep a portfolio indeed as some tools will have to be revisited when one is working in the Project management space.

For Execution view point, I really need more practical quiz cum case study as a course of work as it is the main part of the project.

All too often a topic is mentioned once in a video, not built on, and then appears in the end of module quiz.

The ethics modules while extremely important in this world of ambigous moral compass, felt stretched out.
