About the Course

In this final, capstone course of the Google Project Management Certificate, you will practice applying the project management knowledge and skills you have learned so far. We encourage learners to complete Courses 1-5 before beginning the final course, as they provide the foundation necessary to complete the activities in this course. As you progress through this course, you will “observe” a project manager in a real-world scenario and complete dozens of hands-on activities. You will: - analyze project documents to identify project requirements and evaluate stakeholders - complete a project charter and use it as a tool to align project scope and goals among stakeholders - identify tasks and milestones and document and prioritize them in a project plan - define quality management standards and explore how to effectively share qualitative data - demonstrate your project’s impact through effective reporting By the end of this course, you will have developed a portfolio of project management artifacts that will demonstrate the skills you have learned throughout the entire program, such as your ability to manage stakeholders and teams, organize plans, and communicate project details. These artifacts can exhibit your career readiness when applying for jobs in the field. To further prepare you to interview for project management jobs, you will reflect on past projects, develop an “elevator pitch,” and anticipate common interview questions. Current Google project managers will continue to instruct and provide you with the strategies, tools, and resources to meet your goals. After completing this program, you should be equipped to apply for introductory-level jobs as a project manager. You will also have the opportunity to claim a certification of completion badge that will be recognizable to employers....

This course is fantastic! Though I am a skilled project manager; there are some good takeaways from this course; and Google Instructors talk about the best practices used at Google in a lucid manner!

My rating is more like 3.5 stars, and my concerns are (also) around the peer review portion of this course. I personally "reviewed" several submissions that were clearly plagarized, and in one instance they were given to me back-to-back. Since these same people are responsible for reviewing my work, I am left not entirely sure if I am understanding the course material or just the recipient of a passing grade from someone who is trying to cut as many corners as possible to get to their certificate.

As a whole, I walked away from the course feeling relatively confident that I understood the material presented but if someone asked me whether or not they should take this course, it would come with several caveats.

I thought that the peer review required to pass certain sections was horrible!!! To ask other novices to grade my work and suffer their opinions (especially when they didn't read directions) and have MY grade affected by other people who are not experts is ridiculous!!! I have complained about this several times, no one seems to care, or write back - maybe now someone will...? I am a seasoned educator and find this part of the course to be academically unsound and VERY frustrating!!

Basic level course to learn about project management and getting an overview and taste of all the elements involved during all phases of the project. I also learned about different project management tools and techniques which can be applied for effective execution of the project. It should be more through and indepth. level of difficulty for assignments and quizzes should be increased to make this course worthwile and equivalent to PMP certification.

I think everything up to this point was amazing! However, the challenge of waiting on others to offer feedback made things a challenge. I didn't want to really move on until I knew my paper had been sufficient.

It is amazing and has a lot of new knowledge, however, its presentation is too long which leads to boring sometimes.

I suggest it could be presented in a more attractive way not only narrative way

There are too many courses that require mutual evaluation, and it is very unfriendly that they cannot be written in Chinese.

After completing the courses before, this is just extremely repetitive. Instructor is perfect though.

1. Material concentration and content is acceptable at this course. 2. Сources 1-5 - mostly water . You have to squeeze it very well to identify a piece of meaningful information. Very diluted, like women soap romance book. 3. No quality control. No real teachers are available in this course - considering it as a shame! I never heard that students are forced to grade each other in any reputable educational institution! That annihilate any educational purpose. Where has this been seen in any reputable educational institution? You can only imagine the content of those tests! There are mostly "Help me through" with no tests at all. Some people simply copy the given material and present it for "peer grading", hope that other people will give them "pass". And they will succeed. Shame, nowhere only here, in Coursera you can observe this pattern. 4. Certificate. Guess what, you have to jeopardize and put your identity in danger by providing your complete identity info to some Persona and let this Persona to use all your personal info for 3 years at their full discretion! It's maybe sold, stolen hacked etc. All those risks for what? For getting some certificate from organization with a dubious reputation where is no teachers and students are generously grading each other? Coursera should be upfront about that condition and about all those non-functioning trimmed educational system. Conclusion: Coursera and all companies presented here by Coursera don't really care about education quality and quality personnel, so the purpose is simply clipping monthly money. Sad. It's very sad only.

While this is an excellent learning platform with all modules delivering informative sessions, I believe the peer graded sessions of this course should fully be optional. Alot of people(myself inclusive) have different forms of anxiety and this could be a trigger point for them. This is exactly the reason i avoided all peer graded assignments in all 6 modules but ensured to smash the rest of the graded questions. I strongly believe that effort alone should be enough to attain my certifications and not be held back because of peer graded assignments.

De los 6 Que componen el certificado es el peor de todos salvo por los tip para buscar trabajo y los descuentos que te dan al final. Dejar en manos de alumnos calificar a otros y hacer que sin ello no puedas conseguir el certificado men parece deplorable y quita gran valor al curso. Si te tienen que valorar que sea a traves de un examen hecho por gente capacitada.

I have successfully completed all modules for this certificate. The course was excellent. However, I am deeply frustrated that I must use a third party site (Credly), that requires access to my LinkedIn pofile and permissions to post on my behalf, in order to share my certification.

This course was streeeeeetcccchhhhed to the limit. So much unnecessary information. It could not end fast enough for me and bored me to tears. This certification could have been 2 or 3 modules but definitely not 4. Glad to have completed the certification.
