This was my hardest course yet because it focused on some of the areas I had the most difficulty as a manager. The information was and is delivered at a great pace. The Optional resume and social profile assignment is a resource that I definitely needed and I feel should be a requirement more than an optional activity.

In this course you will learn project planning: creating/managing a project plan; time estimation; project budgeting (estimating/tracking); procurement process; risk management; document plans; creating a communication plan. And you will learn all of the above if you study and pay attention. It's a great course.

This course helped me understand the planning phase of project cycle in detail. I previously did not have any prior knowledge of this term and after the completion of this course I feel like I have a good understanding of this phase and can easily develop related project planning documents for a small project.

It was very intense, a week longer than 1 and 2 but I loved it, loved the Professor, the breakdown, the whole course, I advise you to take it one week at a time, so you properly process and understand and please really do the assignments, they help you get into the Project management role. Have fun and succeed.

The course itself was very useful, I had the chance to learn many new things about project management. At the same time, I had some issues with some parts of the quizzes. Many possible answers were similar for certain questions, and it was hard to figure out which one is right according to the quiz developer.

Awesome! You provide me with tools I barely knew and some new ones, too, that I can now use with some degree of easiness. It is now my job to use them constantly and effectively. Thank you for the powerful knowledge you share with us, GOOGLE. Thank you Coursera for making the course accesible and interesting.

Very well structured course with clear strategic approach, by linking it's content to the next courses under the Project Management Certificate program. Provides very good explanation about how to organize a project planning phase successfully. The course is delivered in an interactive and engaging way.

This course is very helpful even for those who have experience in managing projects. Planning is a part that might be ignored for a project. But how well a project is planned will impact significantly the efficiency and the outcome of a project.

The templates Google shared are quite useful. Thank you.

This one is certainly a firehouse of information, compared to previous courses. It also has you thinking more about open-ended questions, and referencing past work, so it really feels like more of a training program programs for project management and less like a cram session of keywords and concepts.

The course covered a lot of topics and my knowledge about putting together a project has been greatly impacted. The data visualization and presentation module was an eye opener and the exemplars were very good too. With all the knowledge garnered ,i will be able to excel in a project management job.

Super helpful, useful and necessary not just for work projects but also for personal life, too. I wish my high school had taught the foundations and techniques of project management 20+ years ago. This should be required curriculum for public schools so students can plan their own success in life.

Honestly, I really have been enjoying all the project management courses. This is great because it's been applicable to my current job. And I've been trying to dive into some of the suggested management software as well. I really like the course leads and have found it very easy to follow.

This course was a good challenge, following the same level of difficulty as course 2. The instructor was good and I learned quite a lot. Some of the portions on communication were a bit drawn out, but that could be because I already have that skill set. Overall, a great course once again!

Practical and insightful. Have learnt stuff I do at work blindly and yes having connected the dots backwards, I am proud of myself taking it. It has enhanced my knowledge and application of some important ideas that I never knew were vital for Project Planning - Putting It All Together.

I LOVE that they don't just cover how to build a resume but they give a template and other great information on how to build the best resume. I rushed through it during the course but will certainly go back and create a more detailed resume at the end of the program. Thank you Google!

I've loved these courses so far. The only thing I would add is when I'm watching the videos, I'm not able to reverse the video 10 seconds like most videos let you. That would be an awesome feature to add as sometimes I need to go back to listen to things the instructor talked about.

The course is really well build up, using tools from "ultralearning"in order to help you better understand and fixate the information. I also find it to be extremely dense with a lot of valuable information. It might be useful to make a lot of notes while going through the course.

For someone without "official" Project Management certification, this course is a useful compass when working on real case studies. I wished i had learnt this course before starting my career. The contents of this module also applies to general planning and leadership. thanks.
