One of the parts of a project that is not usual to take part -a very important- as it should. We learn here to have them on mind, and have plans to avoid or take care of them in a planned way.

This is an awesome course for project management. It starts from beginning and lead you to the intermediate level. In this course they are providing a good concept of project manager roles and responsibilities through lessons and videos. There are case study which clear your doubts and give you a confidence to think like a real project manager . A bonus video where Instructor Margaret Meloni sharing her own experience and challenges she faced during her project Management work. In this course we will get so many templates which helps us to create plan, budget and risk log and others. Overall this course is in well structured and Instructor Margaret Meloni is teaching us in very polite way. Thank you Coursera and UCI for providing such a amazing course .

This was my third course toward a specialization in project management. I was very pleased that Margaret Meloni was the instructor. This course, Managing Project Risk and Changes, proved to be the course that bridged all of the concepts. It heightened my perspective regarding the expectations and responsibilities of the job, and what it truly means to be a Project Manager. I very much appreciate the bonus videos showcasing interviews with the very seasoned Program Managers. Their insights increased my learning curve. Thank you very much!

Great overview to risks and changes, with practical insights. Some parts of the material is very old, mentioning "fax" or even "google+" as a social network. Nevertheless, the content wraps up the main information regarding risks and changes, also a little bit about communication and procurement.
