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!

This was a very comprehensive course that I took. My certificate of Google Project Management Certificate should also contain the number of hours that I spent on this course. In addition this course should also be recognized with PMP for Project Management Professional Certification rather than CAPM.

the Coursera Google Career Certificates are worth it for anyone trying to explore information technology careers through self-paced online learning. Beyond the pre-recorded videos from industry experts, hands-on assignments will help you learn faster by yourself.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE COURSE CONTENT AND THEY WAY IT WAS DELIVERED. HOWEVER, THEY ONLY THING I HATE WAS THAT THERE WAS A PORTION THAT NEEDS TO BE REVIEW AND NEEDS FEDBACK IN ORDER FOR THE CLASS TO BE COMPLETED. OVERALL EASY TO FOLLOW AND CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS.

This course was a great way to understand Project Management! The only downside is some of the grading done by our peers. Some would either let you pass without any background of how I did. Or worse, they gave you a bad score without helpful criticism.

The difficulty, and the amount of work required to complete it is exponentially more than any of the previous courses. Either the earlier courses should have been more difficult and time consuming, or this one should have been less difficult.

This is easily the hardest part of this course. if you made it this far and are still on the fence about it then the capstone will make you commit to it completly or break your spirit about being a project manager for good.

I like this course but 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.

This was quite good. I realy enjoyed the varying ways the material was presented as it kept me engaged. It wasn't endless pages of reading. There were a minimum number of glitches to have to work through.

The applied concepts, techniques and hands-on experience I gained are so spectacular! But I found it slightly hard to go through all of these reading materials to complete the required assignments.

very comprehensive course with a lot of hands on and assignment to do. I could rate it 5 if the assignment graded by instructors but it get graded by other fellow learner who use wide range metric.

I found this course to be excellent, very comprehensive.

As part of the overall program there is, however a fair amount of overlap with the other courses, and could have been shorter.

The course is fine, but allowing other students to purpossly give zero point to others grade, which isdelaying people from getting there certificate and have to keep on resubmitting.

This was a really great course. I feel though that we could have used more exercises in resolving conflict during project implementation. I'm still very happy to have taken it.

Would have loved if peers could additionally rate students on the content of their answers if they fully represent or are related to the questions they are answering

Some complicated items for the capstone, i think instructions were a bit confusing. Or maybe i was distracted. Overall a very useful course to refresh the concepts.

I missed the templates of the project plan with "right" answers / information at the end of every section. I still don´t know how good the document was elaborated.

This is a good way to wrap up learning from start to finish. The video content and peer reviews though were a bit cumbersome. Overall, well worth going through it.

I liked the course (and previous 5 PM courses) and all of the information, templates and supporting information it has given me to launch into this new career.

I couldn't find many faults with this course, I really enjoyed it. It could have been a bit shorter as the optional stuff was a bit frustrating but it was ok.
