Thanks, Google for the Amazing course material useful for foundations of project management. I Would like to learn more about the tools, software, and new strategies that can be useful to manage and track projects. In this course, most of the points are covered and useful in our day-by-day project management activities. I learned how Interpersonal skills are important to becoming a project manager. Interpersonal skills are Enabling decision making, Communicating and escalating, Remaining flexible, Organizational Skills, etc. Thanks

This course is really incredible and one of the topics that I liked the most was the following and I believe that it is what can make a big change in many companies, the importance of organizational culture. The culture of an organization defines its identity. Its identity essentially describes how the company conducts its business, both internally and externally. A company's values and organizational culture go hand in hand; its values are part of its identity. You can almost think of an organization's culture as its personality.

Really fantastic first course. Although I have quite a bit of project management experience, there were modules and clarifications that better informed me of what a career in Project Management really entails. The content was engaging and informative. There wasn't a video or reading that I thought to myself "Why am I reading/watching this?" I can see that this course would be tremendously beneficial for someone just getting into Project Management, but also beneficial to folks that have some experience in the field (like me).

The Foundation of Project Management course is a well-structured introduction to the field, offering rich content that's both insightful and applicable. The information provided is up-to-date and presented in a clear, understandable manner, which makes it accessible for beginners yet substantial enough for those with some experience. I appreciated the real- world examples and the interactive components that helped reinforce the learning material. Highly recommend for anyone looking to solidify their project management foundation.

Have a nice day, my teacher. Thank you for this course. This is nice work, teacher! I have completed this course, which is like full gratification! Employers appreciate these kinds of classes and can appreciate what's needed. I have developed during my learning. There is an opportunity to feature this project in my portfolio and add details to illustrate my rational thinking and skills. My recently completed course would look great on my profile. I appreciate you, and I am very grateful for the knowledge that you give to people.

Useful notions about project management at the very beginning phase. A worthy approach to introduce ourselves in a streamlined approach that sometimes we've already used with no consciousness. People who speak are extremely interesting and go straight on to the point focusing on learning and showing practical cases, quizzes, so well done, let's start with the second one after a breathe to digest all the concepts. Thanks for your efforts to share contents and principles making it easier to understandable in few hours, days. Fabio

The course has strengthened my job search. Its making my foundation stronger to be a Project Manager. The videos are amazing and the examples are very relatable. Having the glossary also helped a lot as I would have to prepare it myself. The main learning is it tells if one wishes to be Project Manager they can always learn these skills and pursue their dream. It's not that you need to have a min. of this experience or this education. Its never too late and never too early to dream and work towards to it. Thanks team for this.

The Foundations of Project Management was created and thought by seasoned business and project management professionals to provide a thorough understanding of project management. This certificate course will offer me specialization options, allowing me to concentrate on knowledge of the fundamentals of project management while specializing in a subject that interests me. Process groups, cost management, risk management, task management, and project restrictions are all basic concepts in the foundations of project management

This Course as part of the 6-Course Professional Certification is providing a great "kick-off" and basic overview on Project Management which even offers good refreshers and new perspective even for experienced and more senior Project Managers. I highly recommend this course for learners approaching a career in Project Management as well as for experienced professionals in the field. It's never wrong to get to know different perspectives and this is truly providing that in a refreshing and exciting format. Well done Google!

Foundations in Project Management is a great course for someone learning to understand the basics of project management. This course offers a good overview of project management methodologies, skills that a project manager should have or develop, and how project management fits into the larger framework of various organizational structures. It is certainly a "beginner" level course but one that could also be a good review for more seasoned project managers for whom their formal PjM education occurred some time in the past.

I really enjoyed this course. Since it is a 'Foundations' class, it provides a high level overview of project management, without too much unnecessary industry jargon or lingo. I appreciate that the course does an excellent job stating and reinforcing the critical aspects of project management on an introductory basis. The designers of this class should be commended for putting together an excellent course - this Foundations class clearly lays the groundwork for future and more in-depth topics on project management.

A well-done course. I like that this introductory course laid the foundation of what project management is all about that has less to do with the hard skills like responsibility matrices, budgets, and deliveralbles. But instead, it makes it crystal clear that success in project management has so much to do with the flawless execution of the soft skills like effective communication, interpersonal skills, and team collaboration. I feel like it delivered a well-rounded perspective on project management at a 10K ft view.

This was a great course! I tried the PMI course first, but they assume you have a lot of knowledge in the project management industry. There were a lot of things that I did not know, and I felt overwhelmed. This course started off with the basics and boosted my confidence. I loved the clarity of the speakers, the real world examples, and the articles added for continued knowledge. I will continue with all 6 of these courses and any more like this. Thank you for putting this together, you guys did a fantastic job!

Emilio is a Rockstar! The way he laid the foundation is simply amazing. The course is extraordinarily well defined. I don't have words. Let me try anyway, the flow of the course is simple and generic to attract a fresh graduate and yet at the same time it is specific and has some in-depth content to stun an experienced professional. It is like a beautifully crafted screenplay. Many gemstones all along if anyone cared to pick it up. Millions are going to get benefitted from this wonderful program. God willing.

I'm delighted to have this course offered by Google through Coursera. I found out about it through the course. near me. I appreciate the format and set up of the course. The videos are very well done. who take the course and we get to view and hear their interaction. I'm extremely interested in project management course and you won't find a better way of learning . A helpful aspect is that you can save notes, repeat parts of the videos, and you have written text to follow if you like along with the videos'.

As a newcomer to the Project Management world, I really enjoyed and appreciated all of the conributing instructers experiences. I realized that being a PM is essentially what we all have been doing within our daily lives, on our jobs, in school ect... I was blown away at the fact that Google gave many of their employees who have done teaching videos the opportunity to be a part of the Project Management team minus college degrees. It's truly inspiring and helped me to engage more intensly into the course.

I am really greatfull for this course. I can't imagine how much work was invested in this project. The biggest advantages:
all information divided in blocks;
all terms are explained in a proper and clear manner;
it is great that there are different ways of presenting information - video/text/case/quiz;
Additionaly, thank you for not using overcomplicated explanations. It is not help when you are a foreigner and trying to get the essential knowledge, but spending all your time on veryfing "fancy" words instead.

It's a great tool for complete beginners in Project Management. Although I had formal education in management and special classes in PM, it was good to revise everything and to listen to things I haven't picked up during my studies.
Extremely valuable was the insight into the day-to-day job of project manager and the career stories of Google employees. Some aspects of the course were also though provoking and I appreciate it very much. Now time for Course no. 2! Wish me luck and give it a try! It's worth it!

What a fantastic course! There is a lot of content, but it still manages to be accessible. I honestly think this is accessible enough that some sharp elementary school kids could get something out of it. Yet there is enough content that you can really get more if you want to dive deeper, either by getting into more detail in the readings or using the material as a springboard to do additional research. I'm really glad I found this and I'll certainly be taking the remaining 5 courses for the certificate.
