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.

This is a highly recommended course. Teaches and trains you on real life project management application. Gives you all the coaching, tools, templates and resources to succeed on the job. After this course, you will feel you have indeed gathered real life experience. Totally worth it!

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 am enjoying the program very much as it has very relatable lessons as well as providing all information in a very real orld context. I would highly recomend Google Corsera to anyone who wishes to improve and/or add a great skillset for the betterment of themselves professionally.

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!

I am thrilled with how much information I am getting about Project Management. The amount of information and getting details are well done. I continuously refer all my friends who want to learn more about Project Management to attend this set of courses. I am enjoying it a lot!

This is an awesome drill and experience. This course introduced me to the real world of Managing a Project, I mean in a real-time. Project Initiation exposed my to successfully start a project as a new skill I just acquired after attending this PM Initiation stage.

Best Regards.

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.

I'm finding this course to be very helpful. I love all the modules, the instructors, the assignments and the readings. It's such a pleasure to progress through this course and I'm learning a lot and finding ways to enhance my skills through the formal knowledge of the course.

This course was very useful as all Coursera courses are. The instructor was very easy to understand, I enjoyed the peer reviews and hearing from my collegues. I am grateful for all the resources that the course has shared and will definkitely be continuing with th next course.

This is a very informative and helpful course for beginners. It's great that you can save some templates for project documentation which you can use for your further job. With the knowledge from this course I have already got my first offer for Junior Project Manager position!

Great Course for people looking to enter the project management field. The course is filled with great content, reading materials, quizzes and relevant tools. This course will make you job ready by providing all the necessary tools and templates required as a project manager.

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 found this course to be extremely well planned out. Easy to follow and thorough in its approach to delving into the various components of starting a project and the tools, methodologies, and tips needed to plan for success in the early stages of establishing a new project.

Dear Team,

This is a wonderfully design course not only for beginners but also practitioners.

I have learned a lot and going to refer the course material in future practice in my strategic planner and Implementer.

Now, I have confident to apply for a project manager Job Role.

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!

The course Project Initiation: Starting a Successful Project describes how you can start a project from scratch. This course will be helpful not only for beginners, but also for seniors who is wants to upgrade their skills. I'll definitely recommend this course to everyone.

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.
