It is a good start for those who know nothing of project management. I really liked the pace of the entire course. The only thing that sets me off is so much time invested on job search, I believe job search might be a topic better suited for later courses but I might be wrong.

I learned about the foundations of PM, what does PM manager does and how can you be an effective Project manager, the phases of PM, Impact of org. structure and culture, and a glimpse to change management. Great to learn new things and aspects I didn't consider previously in PM.

Brilliant course. I have done other Project Management courses in the past (none Google) and can say Google's Foundation Of Project Management smashed those out of the water. The blend of ways the course is taught is fantastic and great learning experience. On to the next one!

This course strikes the perfect balance - it's accessible enough for people who are just learning about project management for the first time, but provides enough detail and reference materials so people who are already in project management roles can still learn something new!

The major difference i noticed is that the information is coming right from the horse's mouth and therefore the content is real world. Not a bookish knowledge. Surly the course is made with effort and knowledge that can make a real difference. Thanks Course creators at Google.
