I will be honest - I was a bit skeptical at first when I started this course. I have over 12 years of QA/Testing experiences in Life Sciences and so I thought "what will this course teach me?" But, right from the start, the way the lessons are structured and tail-off of each other, the combination of videos + readings and timely quizzes, and knowledge-checks, I found this course better than an actual for-credit college course. I wish college courses were structured like this - would make learning fun, beneficial and it would actually stick (as in, the mind). I'm pumped to go all the way and complete the remaining 5 courses and get a CAPM certification from PMI.

I just completed the "Foundations of Project Management" course, and I am more than happy to share my feedback. The course enabled me to have a deep view of the key principles and practices of project management. From the very basics to advanced topics, it was structured in a very streamlined way. Modules were interactive with practical examples that helped stick to the learning. This course, in my opinion, is very good. Any person looking for a solid background in project management will find the course very useful. It represents excellent value for any project manager, whether new or with experience, looking to sharpen their skills and widen their knowledge.

The Foundations of P:roject management course provides an insight on: intiate, planning, overeeeing, impletmenting, and closing a project. This course is gearer to a myraid types of projects, and cross numerous industries. Ranging from: social, space exploration, and personal use as well. After taking this course will not look at a project the way again! Found interacting with fellow students a great way to expand not only seeking employment, and finding ways to seek solutions to, for numerous problems. Discovered the videos speak to the student, and can relate, and connect on a transending level. Enjoy this course, so will other student-learners.

As someone new to a certificate program, I am glad to say my expectations of this course have been superseded beyond what I imagined. The instructor and all of his associates offered a great touch in the learning process. Incorporating the videos really helped me stay engaged. Something that was unexpected is the teaching on how to apply for employment opportunities and the path to success on this. I am so fortunate to have learned this, as this has been one of my biggest obstacles in achieving my new career goals. Because I understand the diversity of this field, I am excited to discover any/every role project management has to offer. Thanks so much!

We are all PM in our life , but with this course personally i take a new perspective & concept for PM mindset and organization change because now I'm ready to be also "Change Agent" . Project manager is a professional in the field of project management. Project managers have the responsibility of the planning, procurement and execution of a project, in any undertaking that has a defined scope, defined start and a defined finish; regardless of industry so now i have an strong upgrade on transferable skill to use in my next steps . Thank you for the opportunity because I'm implementing new way not only in professional life but also in personal life ...

First of all, I would like to thank Google for putting together this incredible course! I received a lot of valuable insights through the completion of this course. I was introduced to various concepts and methodologies like Waterfall, Agile, Lean, and Six Sigma. I would definitely like to deep dive into these concepts and learn more about them. The responsibility of the Project Manager that stands out the most from my perspective is how to work collaboratively with interdisciplinary teams and involve numerous stakeholders in the process to successfully deliver and deploy the project through the implementation of the above-stated methodologies.

Google's Project Management course on Coursera is an excellent resource for anyone looking to gain a solid foundation in project management. The material is comprehensive and well-structured. The instructor is engaging and knowledgeable, making the content easy to follow and understand. The course's activities are enjoyable and interactive, allowing learners to apply their newly acquired skills in real-world scenarios. Moreover, the course is highly relevant and up-to-date, with the latest industry best practices and trends. Overall, this course is a must for anyone seeking to enhance their project management skills and advance their career.

The Foundations of Project Management course was a brilliant idea and it was executed splendidly. Each stage of the 4-week course was explained in good detail and the questions make you think about and review what you've learned prior. During the course, I almost felt as though I had been learning and practicing project management for years as it related greatly to what most of us do daily, like when planning events, great or small. I would recommend using this course for those interested in finding a role within project management, speaking as a building services engineer who had no prior idea or information about what the role entailed.

Thank you to Emilio and all the guest speakers throughout this course. Project management is a vital part of any plan's success and I really appreciated how Emilio took the time to make these connections with practices we complete every day! It was also beneficial to learn about the importance of understanding organizational culture along with key features of managing a project such as change management! How many times have I been a part of a changing process where it felt like no one ever considered how we were all supposed to adapt! Thank you again for such a wonderful and comprehensive approach to project management foundations.

The first course in the Professional Project Management Certificate is very informative, short, and overall direct to the point. I did like appreciate the videos of company employees sharing their personal experiences and insight into their respective roles. The Peer-review discussion boards have never been my favorite. It is not monitored by instructors and people just post anything or nothing at all and "complete" the assignment. I'm glad that for now, the discussion boards are participation optional, but I worry about when capstone comes around how will it work? I do believe hard work is noticeable and hope Google is watching,

Initially I want to thankyou coursera for giving me this opportunity to complete this course. This is my first course ever on Coursera. The knowledge that i gain from this course is unbelievable. I already interested on learnig project managements so i read many articles on internet but when I found this course on coursera I realize that this may be my best experience ever.

Finally I want to thank my instructuctor Emilio sir whose videos help me to understand each and every details cleary. I also want to thankyou coursera's hardworking team on making a the best educational platform of the world.

Thankyou

Yours Sincerely

The instructor used relative examples that are well understood in various personal and business aspects. He himself was relatable to users, and so were the "guest speakers". Everything was broken down in well organized and timed sections that delivered information in a well paced manner. I believe someone taking this course that was completely new to Project Management would succeed. The use of video, with text that is highlighted along with the presenters speech was highly useful for me as someone with a photographic memory. Hearing someone speak, while being able to read and follow along greatly helped my type of learning.

I recently completed the " Foundation of Project Management" course offered by Coursera with Infosys Springboard and I must say it was Exceptional learning experience.

In this course I learned what project management along with the role and value of a project manager. Next I learned life cycle of project and the task to manage a project from start to finish. Then project management methodologies and tips for choosing right method for your project also, change management and organization structure and management and mostly important creating simple team connections can lead to successful project outcome.

An excellent course to start learning the highly valued skill of Project Management. The course is well paced and the videos have high quality content coming from well qualified and experienced professionals.

The content could help with our daily life in such a way that we might start thinking like a project manager to successfully complete some of the things we do. e.g. I was thinking about selling a property that has shared ownerships, documentation challenges, land conversion, marketing and finally selling. Could relate the steps to a hybrid model.

I have no background in project management and took the course out of a mild curiosity. I learned more than I expected to learn.
