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....

This course is so unnecessarily long-winded, there are too many sections about soft skills, such as giving effective presentations and how to work in a team, that could be covered in a single week and are things that people should already know, especially if they are considering working in this field.

Corse reported as complete way before i finished it. I have not done last assignment yet, but it is already marked as complete for me. The Presentation that was referred in the last assignment is nowhere to be found in the previous steps assignment.

I feel some of the topics should be broken down extra. In module 6, I felt there should have been more paragraphs on the transcript some of it looked clustered to me but overall it's was an amazing study, I am grateful for what I have learnt.

Fantastic course, but some of the questions of the tests could be improved as they sometimes ask things that were not taughtin the lectures. Not even after going back to the suggested source I can find the ifnormation needed to answer.

I feel that having a "How to build a project management resume" would have helped me a lot. I just finished the Digital Marketing Course and they had a whole section about resume tips and building.

The course was a bit too long, and from time to time not engaging enough. Some lessons seemed to have quite intuitive and obvious contents. But the structure of the course was good in general.

Course could be slimmed down quite a bit. A lot of the information does not really require videos, which would allow it to be a four week course, rather than a six week course

While I felt this is literally the most critical course in the certificate, it's also fairly weighty. I think that splitting this course into two might be a better approach.

the information was presented in a very all over the place and out of order way, and the main presenter's style was really annoying and hard to connect with

This module has good content but it is not well organized. There is too much jumping around between topics making consolidation of information necessary.

Really AB level. A lot of repetition of concepts. Would have been cool if the instructor would have brought more real life cases from google.
