Mixed video, activity, and test help me focus and learn so much. And we can try many times in the test help us gain more confident and chance to enhance where we haven't understand. Such a great work.

A organização das temáticas, a abordagem e os níveis intermédios de avaliação, criam uma dinâmica de aprendizagem verdadeiramente motivante.

Cada etapa ultrapassada lança logo uma nova perspetiva que não deixa perder o ritmo.

Obrigado Coursera

I'm sad we don't get the teacher in the next course, he was fantastic! I'm sure the next will be just as good though. The course outline, the content, and the breakup of content was perfect and I wouldn't change a thing. Great job, Googlers.

I highly recommend this course even if you're not interested in a PM role. For me this course helped to understand various technical terms I see on job posting ( not related to PM role) like interpersonal skills, transferable skills and more

Though I've done PM work, this is my first formal course. I enjoyed the format, pace, and facilitator. Some information was a refresher, but I did learn a lot. I also appreciate the career-related information Imbedded throughout the course.

What could possibly go wrong with one of the pioneer of PM Google. It was a fantastic learning experience and rather interesting one, filled with learning, apt information and making sure a starter, slow learner like me does learn easily.

The course was a great starting point to learn the roots of Project management. One particular aspect of this course that I enjoyed was the curriculum on Teams organization and structure as they can differ from organization to organization.
