About the Course

This is the fourth course in the Google Project Management Certificate program. This course will delve into the execution and closing phases of the project life cycle. You will learn what aspects of a project to track and how to track them. You will also learn how to effectively manage and communicate changes, dependencies, and risks. As you explore quality management, you will learn how to measure customer satisfaction and implement continuous improvement and process improvement techniques. Next, you will examine how to prioritize data, how to use data to inform your decision-making, and how to effectively present that data. Then, you will strengthen your leadership skills as you study the stages of team development and how to manage team dynamics. After that, you will discover tools that provide effective project team communication, how to organize and facilitate meetings, and how to effectively communicate project status updates. Finally, you will examine the steps of the project closing process and how to create and share project closing documentation. Current Google project managers will continue to instruct and provide you with hands-on approaches for accomplishing these tasks while showing you the best project management tools and resources for the job at hand. Learners who complete this program should be equipped to apply for introductory-level jobs as project managers. No previous experience is necessary. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Identify what aspects of a project to track and compare different tracking methods. - Discuss how to effectively manage and communicate changes, dependencies, and risks. - Explain the key quality management concepts of quality standards, quality planning, quality assurance, and quality control. - Describe how to create continuous improvement and process improvement and how to measure customer satisfaction. - Explain the purpose of a retrospective and describe how to conduct one. - Demonstrate how to prioritize and analyze data and how to communicate a project’s data-informed story. - Identify tools that provide effective project team communication and explore best practices for communicating project status updates. - Describe the steps of the closing process for stakeholders, the project team, and project managers....

Getting a little monotonous. The activity instructions should be improved-they are often more confusing than they need to be and leave me guessing whether I have completed an assignment correctly.

This is by far my least favorite in the series for 2 reasons. Reason number 1 is that activities are not self-contained. Secondly, some sentences used were difficult to understand from non-native English speakers. The activities are not self-contained. Apart from that it's a good course

The presenter did really well, but compared to the other courses I have to say that there were a lot of relevant information that was rushed through. And in general the speed of talking was, compared again to the other courses quite fast.

But again thumbs up for the presenter

Very well strucured course. I suggest you increase the number of knowledge check test questions and answers at the end of course sections or chapeter and do away with the peer corrected exercises. We are still learners and therefore the peer corrections are very subjective.

I gave this particular course a 4 out 5 because it had a lot of information and I found it hard to pinpoint specific reference points without having to rewatch a full video to find the one answer I was looking for. I liked the presenter and the overall flow of this course.

I enjoyed learning the material in this course and have already started putting it to work. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because I was never able to see feedback from peer graded assignments though I received email communication that I had new feedback.

Very comprehensive overview of hard and soft skills required for executing a project.

THe only lacking thing is some examples of a retrospective, which is very much talked about but not completely clear if you haven't done one in real life by yourself.

This one was a tad heavy. Lots of notes, would've likes a workbook, or be able to download the slides. The download option simply puts everything into one long text item and it's way too time consuming to even try to read. Am I doing something wrong?

Althougth it was good I was hoping to get more on controlling the project and data-driven project management, but it kinda stays on the surface showing how to do graphs and plot, but to go to go depper on how to analyse data for managing projects

The main instructor for this section wasn't the best but I highly recommend this series of courses for someone to take and complete! You will learn a lot of up to date information that will keep you competitive in the job market.

In general, I like this course. A lot of valuable information.

Anyway, I expected the execution course to be more practical than theoretical. The course is longer than previous courses of Project Manager certificate.

I loved our teacher! She was easy to follow and had a great personality. I did notice that some of visual prompts (i used to know that i needed to specifically take notes on) werent as great as the first 2 courses.

It had a really good and informative conten and the instructor was great. I give it 4 stars because the peer graded assignment is taking too long to grade my assignment so i can get my certificate.

Good course but related mostly with project management in IT sphere. As the 3 previous in this certification program. May be it should be highlighted in the names of the program and course?

I have a very difficult time listening to female voices, which makes the learning experience quite challenging for me. I wish there were an option to choose the gender of the instructor.

Very good presentation. This course was a little more dense than the preivous courses in the series but the presenter does a great job at geting thorugh it and making it understandable.

Overall very helpful. The project charter overview and exercises were comprehensive and useful. The sequence and depth of content related to project management tools should be expanded.

A good course. Though the documentations in Week 6 (Creating a Project Close Out Report Template and the Glossary in that same week) weren't shared correctly and couldn't be accessed.

This certification helped me understand the process of project management from start to finish and how this would prepare me to assist in the working field on a day-to-day basis.

ONLY REASON I'M GIVING THIS 4 STARS IS BECAUSE I CONTINUOUSLY GET "FAILED" AND HAVE TO RESUBMIT ON PEER GRADED COURSES BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO OPEN A GOOGLE DOC FILE.
