You get a good foundation of what a project manager is responsible for and what tools they can work with.

Topics like RACI charts and stakeholder analysis are an insight into responsibilities undertaken by the PM.

The activities during the learning are good practice for beginners. Try your best to attempt them and the quizzes.

Another great course! This course is where we actually apply knowledge on assignments. The Peer Review process could use a bit of a revamp, and the expectation of reading the outside links is a must if you are not familiar with the tools. The exposure to the project charter and tools and software is invaluable, thank you

Removing one star for the blood boiling irritating pronounciation of success. it's /sUHksEs/ and not /sUsssEs/ It just pissed me off so much that I stopped doing until my blood pressure lowered down. When I came back I heard it again, I got pissed off again. The cycle continud for a year but I was finally able to do it.

This is a helpful course. I feel that the peer review portion needs some oversight. I needed to resubmit my assignment several times, due to other reviewers either not realizing that my assignment was linked and not an uploaded document, or not understanding the assignment themselves and, therefore, grading inaccurately.

I particularly didn't enjoy the peer review. I received an insensitive comment about my grammar. Although I understand my grammar is not perfect, I don't think it should play a role in the grading of the peer assignments. We have students from all over the world, and grammar sometimes is subject to cultural variations.

very well explained but the was so much information to digest. so i need to go back to review what i have learned so far. my instructor was very explicit and used lots of examples which is very important. but the other topics were not explained in details like project proposals ,and some more. happy to complete this

I could not give this course a 5 star review for one reason—the peer graded assignment is ridiculous. Why do I have to wait on total strangers to "grade" my work for me to obtain a certificate that I paid for? I strongly suggest Coursera needs to remove the peer graded work from the courses. There is no benefit.

Not a bad course to take for beginners. It would be nice if the peer-graded assignments were required to have actual voiced feedback instead of just getting two very blank feedback boxes and points off when to your understanding you did the assignment perfectly well enough to have more points than you got.

This was a little bit of a slog, but I suspect it will pay off further down the road in the overall project management course. My main complaint is that there were a lot more videos and I found it difficult to pay attention. The videos that included little pop quizes were best because they kept me engaged.

Great course for laying down the foundations for initiating a project. Great references and reading for ongoing learning. The graded assignment menthodology may need some refinement. Some users don't follow the grading guidelines and the feedback quality is low. A very subjective assessment method.

Peer reviews are great but it can hinder if said peers are not an expert in the field of question. Those that possess skills in project management or are currently working in the field, I think would be better for assignment reviews. Outside of that, great course and ready for the next ones in line.

I just finished my course and I am really satisfied, the initiation phase of a project, I improved my knowledge regarding the successful launch of a project, the objectives of the project, SMART and OKRs, documentation, key roles and tools. Thank you my prof Ju Anne, Thanks GOOGLE, thanks COURSERA.

This course has thoroughly helped me reinforce what I previously knew but in a formal way. I love that I am able to ractice with the work tools used here thereby building my experience and my portfolio artefacts. Thank you google coursera for the demo license to be able to practice with the tools

It was very good, but not receiving the feedback from the peer-reviewed activity (make a project charter) shouldn't be an impeditive for getting the certificate, to the point that I concluded 99% of the activities, my grade was enough for being approved and the certificate couldn't be delivered.

Lots of information both theories and practical knowledge!

The case study going through the whole course is great.

Interactive peer review assignment is a good challenge. However there were some vicious reviewers that intentionally make others fail their work.

Discussion board is hard to navigate.

You might want to think about revising feedback to be required if someone does not award full points. Gitlab has a great online course that outlined the grading criteria for each but forced some sort of comment. While it was more time consuming it forced me to be more thorough and thoughtful.

Solid course. My only criticism is that I'd like to add a criteria on peer reviewed assignments that graded people on how professional the document looked. Some people just copy and paste which makes the document messy and hard to follow, and then they are still awarded all points.

Insightful, information packed. Well explained since I had no idea so much goes into the Project Initiation phase. I'll definitely have to review the information periodically so I am able to retain it and not get the information mixed up due to the large volume of data presented.

Information that are provided in the course are so easy and had meaningful use in the life of project manager. Things are very much elaborative even in shorter time. Tasks and assignement that are given very helpful to learn and utilize the learned knowledge in practical use.

it was interesting digging into it .work the different aspect of these iniation phase.sometimes boring but testing your stamina to hold to.in real project management work you need to aquire these skills to never quit and stay strong all the way through .thanks to google team

Very good course, but I am giving 4 stars because of peer graded assignment, first review was very unfair. As I was completely sure that my task was done correctly, I submitted it again without any change and got 2 positive reviews. Peer graded assignments can be improved.

It would be much more educational to have more interactive lessons inside the google sheets tool. A more realistic "hands on" lesson plan would have been very beneficial and would encourage me to use sheets more in the future instead of possibly using another tool instead.

I have been into Project management, but not been a formal one since i has been handling it on my own, this gives me more structured way of working and explains in a very simple manner, i would definitely recommend this to someone looking to move into Project mangement.

This course was very informative and helped me understand how to implement the concepts from course 1 and kick-off the project. My only major complaint was that at times it felt like the course as going by too quickly and I had to pause the videos to catch up on notes.

Some of the terms are a little confusing to keep straight, I had to refer back quite a bit to make sure I was understanding what a deliverable was v. a goal and how they might differ. Overall though, great examples, the material was comprehensive and robust. Thank you!
