This course has truly broadened my understanding of project management, taking me beyond the basic planning and execution stages to delve into the intricacies of team dynamics, continuous improvement, and effective closure. There are definitely areas I'd love to explore further, particularly around conflict management strategies and leading high-performing teams in diverse and challenging environments. While I'm familiar with conflict resolution, learning more nuanced techniques for handling sensitive situations and building resilient team dynamics would be invaluable. Perhaps the most surprising takeaway was the emphasis on creating a culture of learning and continuous improvement within the project team. I initially thought of project management as a linear process, but recognizing the ongoing cycle of feedback, reflection, and adjustment really resonates with me. In terms of responsibilities, I find myself drawn to those that require strong communication skills and a collaborative approach. Facilitation of meetings, stakeholder management, and leading retrospective discussions are aspects that seem particularly rewarding, offering the opportunity to contribute directly to the project's success while fostering positive team relationships.

I enjoyed this course immensely. After taking it, I am confident in my transition into a clinical project management role. As a clinical social worker, I've been eager to explore new horizons and make the most of my transferable skills. This course has been instrumental in helping me achieve that goal. As a process-oriented individual, I was particularly drawn to the structured approach of the program and the numerous opportunities it offered to build a robust portfolio for the future. It's an incredible feeling to have tangible artifacts to showcase my growth and expertise. As an Autism Awareness Coordinator, I'm excited to apply these newly acquired skills to our mission of making the world a more inclusive place for individuals with autism. But the benefits don't stop there! I'm also looking forward to how this newfound expertise will enhance my contributions in the field of Clinical Project Management. This was a well-put-together program that has opened up doors to exciting possibilities.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the online course that I recently completed. The experience has been immensely valuable, and I wanted to share some positive feedback with you. First and foremost, your expertise and passion for the subject matter were truly evident throughout the course. Your thorough explanations, engaging presentations, and real-world examples made complex concepts much more accessible and understandable. I particularly enjoyed the content and the way it has been summarized, which I found exceptionally well-structured and insightful. Moreover, I appreciated the interactive elements of the course, such as the quizzes, discussions, and assignments. These not only reinforced my learning but also encouraged active participation and critical thinking. The feedback and guidance provided on assignments were constructive and helped me improve my understanding and application of the course material. Best Regards Prashant Verma

This course gives you a very detailed run down of what it means to be a project manager. It breaks down the concepts into tangible portions. There were moments when it was too much information and it felt overwhelming, but the teachers do a great job of giving examples and eventually you understand how all the little pieces create the larger concept. I've had such a wonderful time learning from this course even if I don't end up using it professionally, the tools and skills I learned here will absolutely be implement in my personal projects and goals. IMO public school should teach a basic version of project management because these skills can literally be applied to any part of life. I easily see myself recommending this course to anyone who wants to improve their hard skills, soft skills, and communication skills.

This course is amazing, great presenter and the way it delivered its really understandable. To be honest, I am really really afraid when I enroll this course because my English is not really good enough. I am really really scared that I will not finish the course on time and just waste my money. But after follow the course , i do falling in love with this course. I even learn some new vocabularies during the course.
So many things i have learned from this course from the day 1 I join the Foundations of Project Management until the last course Capstone : Applying Project Management in The Real World. Thank you very much for Google and Coursera Teams for bring this course. Hope to see you in the next course. Keep up the good work!!!

I am very satisfued with the structure (coherent and sequential ), the teaching-learning methodology through a project example is very dynamic and interactive, videos are so nicely focused to their topics is so easy-interesting to get wrapped with the key points, reading material very concise yet detailed enough , homeworks are fun to do, you fill you are running the project in real life. The program and its way of teaching exceeded my expectations by far. Its been a very nice leaning experience looking forward to continue engaging in other certifications with google COURSERA platform. thank you very much to all google team!!!!

I enjoyed learning about the retrospective reports that let you know what happened in a project. In addition, I like the variety of material that was presented. For example, the coarse content had infographic exercises and reading comprehension passages to read and then there were video presentations by Google employees. It would be great if Google mentioned its other tools in Google Drive. At work we convert PDF to Word documents using Google Drive. It would be great if Coursera showed how Google Drive lets the Learner convert JPG files into PNG files because I use Micosoft Paint to do those file conversion. I have not mentioned about using the Doc Hub extension along with Google Drive.

It was a great learning journey with amazing discoveries. All the six courses are well organised and having compact content. This course covers up both traditional/ waterfall & agile approaches of the Project Management. Its a complete package for learning PM Concepts and its application in real world. Peer-graded assignments & Capstone (Course-6) will provide you confidence in applying PM concepts. Thanks a lot to Coursera and Google & MUJ (Sponsor) for providing me opportiniuty to learn PM concepts exquisitely. Overall, it was a great learning experience.

I found presenter of this part of the course very warm and welcoming. Her way of presenting made difficult things seem much easier to overcome. She seems like a nice person to work with.
I like the human aspect of the PM role which exist in this course, and personal experiences that people share.
Also, the course in general is very good, as it combines important information and definitions with practical examples, and constantly repeats important words (PM language) which made easy for me to memorize them.

The Google Instrutores and the methodoly of training , allow you to have your ritm and to undersand fundamental criteria. The best I haver had.
I already implement project management in my personal life. I have kaban boards for my home projects, schedules, etc. I defined my personal OKRs too!

The execution phase puts all the plans into action. This phase may take longer than any other phase in the project management life cycle. this is the phase of setting up kick-off meeting, organizing team members, managing the timeline and ensuring deliverable completion, managing teams, comparing different tracking methods, tracking project progress, identifying and managing risks and dependencies, disseminating pieces of information, and maintaining adequate collaboration.

Hi Elita! Thank you so much for teaching this course. It was easy to follow and I loved your tone and modulation throughout. You were my favorite instructor and I was always excited to watch the next video. I also discovered how cool risk analysis is and am considering learning more about that specific aspect. Lastly, representation really does matter! Thanks so much for bringing a familiar flair that eased the nervousness I felt about taking this course.

In one word,... fantastic! It was super awesome to learn about project execution process and closing process in detail. I had so many surprises to learn ethical and inclusive leadership skill along the way. All contents and lessons are quite clear and really helpful to get insightful knowledge and techniques. Example activities are amazing as it's just like hand-on learning experiences. I love this course on Coursera more than I can say.

Actually I was surprised from a huge information that I've learned in this course specially the last section "Closing a Project", it's awesome course. The new good thing that inspired me is to be good project manager you have to share all information about the project as problems that you and your team have been faced during the project for any other new project will start a project similar to yours.

Best Instructor so far. Might even be the best for the whole Google Project Management certificate program. Its understandable though after all she is black! Course 4 is so instructive, enlightening and educational. Learning on how to lead a team, communicate, present data, make presentation and influence is something professionals on leadership positions pay a lot to learn. Thank you Google!

•Jul 15, 2024
As a standalone course, this was a great summary of the project execution phase. Since I took this as part of the whole program, it did feel a bit repetitive at times and went over topics that were already discussed in prior courses. The presenter was great and it was a decent balance of videos to reading, but definitely more videos than reading and activities compared to prior courses.

This instructor was extremely engaging and kept my interest peaked. She was very articulate and a good speaker. Though the course materials were exhaustive (much to digest), this instructor made it relatable and practical. Numerous breaks were necessary to expand my brain capacity to absorb everything I was being taught. The actual hands-on activities taught throughout are priceless.

This was a really helpful course that thought practical approaches to running a closing a project/ I got an extensive understanding of the importance of data and how it can be gathered. I also learnt more on how to communicate with stakeholders, teammates, customers and externals. I also learnt how to stay proactive to provide alternatives in case an issue arises from a risk.

This course is very inspiring and helpful for those who have done some projects but lack of knowledge to assess previous performance. For me, it's very important to learn how to communicate with stakeholders, agile management, and prepare for the necessary documentation.
The instructor and guest speakers are very professional and open to share their insights. Thank you.
