Although I took this course first before the foundation of project management I found I have known many terms in my real life so eager to start to learn more in-depth qualities of project management.

This has been a good learning experience. I now know the different project management tools available. I have a good understanding of project initiation and how to determine the success of a project.

Did not know until I have taken this module that initiation of a project is not simple. There are very important steps like stakeholder analysis, setting SMART goals, in-scope & out-of-scope, drawing up a project charter etc & emphasis on documentation is very good practical advice.

I am in love with this Certificate Program, offered by Google and Coursera! It is very well planned and organised, packed with relevant content and information. It is also very much didactic, full of practical real life examples and exercises, which means: great teaching methodology.

I highly recommend this course to new employees or experienced project managers. It's helpful to go through the project documentation that you prepared for previous projects and try to restructure some of them. This will improve the efficiency and effectiveness for future projects.

I have enjoyed this course, very informative. I started to take another Project Management course and it was very bland and hard to stay tuned in. This course has people actually teaching the course and you can see the passion they have for their jobs. Thank you for this course.

Too much information but it's good that they explain you the same concept in different ways until you get it. I really enjoy the creation of RACI, project charter, etc. exercises -- you put in practice what've learned, creativity, think outside of the box and your redaction skills

I really liked this course. Many topics and useful tools were covered: RACE diagram, stakeholder matrix, practice of setting goals for SMART and OKRs, the use of a project management triangle. I was pleased with the large amount of practice and cool templates. Thank you very much!

The course covered very helpful topics like the RACI chart for stakeholder mapping and assigning responsibilities and I also like the introduction to project management tools. I also enjoyed the step by step process of generating a project charter that was covered in this course.

There were a lot of deliverables in this course, and there was also a lot of content. I completed it in 2 days, but should have spaced it out. The work seemed overwhelming because of it, but it's totally doable, and now I have things to present when I interview for PM positions.

Amazing second part can't wait for the next one.
Although all concepts are simple to grasp on the context of this course, I believe that they may differ a bit in actual practice . But that's the point of going through all of this to actually get a job an see what is all about

This was a great course that helped me fill a few gaps in my project initiation skills. Even as a seasoned product manager that works on several projects annually, there were still things I picked up in this course that will benefit my future projects by a substantial amount.

I learned a lot of useful stuff in this course, concerning Project Initiation.
Things that were just abstract terms became concrete, and I learned how to deal with different process, and how to initate larger projects in a proffessional way.
Thank you Google, and Coursera!

Project Initiation is the 2nd course in the Google Project Management Certification. I enjoyed the assignments, teaching us the preparation of charts, project management tools and so on. Got a better outline about the steps that are involved in the project initiation phase.

A nice overview of starting a project. The material gave me a good introduction to what tools are available for different parts of the process. It might nice if the work were not so heavily concentrated in week 2 but perhaps this is dictated by the grouping of the topics.

It was a very good course for me to learn more about the initiation phase of the project. As one of the important phase of the project, I also spend most of the time in this area. As a Senior manager JuAnne's video deliveries were exceptional and were interesting to listen.
