Thrilled to share my experience completing the "Project Planning: Putting It All Together!" course. I'm Subimal Banerjee, and this course has been instrumental in my journey towards mastering project management. The detailed, step-by-step approach and practical insights have significantly enhanced my skills, aligning perfectly with my goal to complete the entire PMI course and attain professional certification. What stood out were the commendable emphasis on professional etiquettes, hands-on worksheets for practical application, and the course's ability to keep engagement high with intriguing questions. It's not just a course; it's a transformative experience preparing you for real-world project management challenges. Kudos to the instructors for delivering beyond expectations!

Thank you to all the professionals who put this course together. Throughout the lessons, I've gained valuable insights into project planning and communication. Understanding the importance of clear goals, stakeholder involvement, and risk management has enhanced my ability to lead successful projects. Learning about various communication methods, such as meetings, emails, and presentations, has equipped me to engage effectively with team members and stakeholders. Documenting project plans and centralizing resources are key practices I'll implement to ensure organization and continuity. These lessons have strengthened my project management skills, and I feel more confident in handling complex projects.

I have learned a whole lot so far in this program and it has really been eye-opening, educative, and informative. The courses are in-depth and it has broadened my perspective on how I can hone my skills, and abilities in managing projects, communicating with teams and stakeholders, leadership, budget, schedules, milestones, and most especially applying the appropriate tools for a successful project. These and more are what we benefit from the program, therefore, I recommend the course to anyone who is interested in boosting his/her skills, advancing career, or desirous to pursue a new line of profession.

Bonjour chers Professeurs,

Je vous informe que vous contribuez au changement positif de la vie des autres, et vous méritez l'admiration de tout le monde.

HI to all the team of coursera I feel very lucky to joined coursera and I noticed that my experience and thinking is very much close and match with your concepts of PMP course . So my wish is to join Google as a intern which is very near by .

Project Plnning course is a very important course among all , what I noticed and experienced and offcourse I took almost double the time to clear this course.

Thanks for taking a great initiative by start these type of courses and change the life of individuals , who wants to work hard and become a successful in life.

The 'Project Planning: Putting It All Together' course can be challenging, given its comprehensive coverage of project planning. The course does require a significant investment of time and effort, as it pushes you to analyze, synthesize, and apply a wide range of project management principles. However, it's important to remember that this rigor and depth also make it an incredibly valuable learning experience. The skills you acquire here will be applicable in a variety of professional contexts. If you find certain sections particularly difficult, I'd recommend taking notes.

This is a very helpful course and walks learners through many of the practical aspects to putting a project together. The one thing I might change would be to make those hands-on experiences a more salient aspect of the course, i.e., necessary to complete before one receives the course certificate. I was surprised that I had the certificate issued to me before I'd done the last synthesis activities of having a project plan with links to budget, communication plan, etc., in one place. Overall, one of the most helpful courses I've experienced though - well done!

The course has a great structure, it has great examples that help you understand the concepts. The graded practices area a good tool that help you to put all the new knowledge at work. Have to say that the course was not easy and you need to really put time to the sessions and understand the concepts to use them, the level on the courses goes up every time. I am very happy that even when i had previos knowledge and professional practice i have new tools and comprehension on the topics that before were not so solid. I recommend to take the full certificate.

I am a Project Manager and have years of experience. The company where I am employed has always frowned on certification claiming we work in a very specialized field and extremely proprietary. I'm also understanding that a lot of our policies and procedures are based upon the PMBPK. I have learned several new things that I have already applied with great success.

This latest course was filled with new approaches and she is a very effective communicator.

I'm enjoying this course very much and look forward to the next chapters and taking the exam!

Exceptionally well put; following on the steps of the two previous courses, this course will guide individuals with interest in project management through some of the most important aspects of the professional body of knowledge and practices of the PM job.

I highly recommend this couse with anyone who is interested in starting a career in PM. For practioners, it would be hard for me to imagine that the course will add new knowledge to you, but it is certinly a nece refresher with some intellignet tips here and there.

I was able to own: Planning and organization skills, organization skills, project management skills, project planning, planning, analysis and risk management. I add that project planning is a group activity, not an individual activity, and everyone who will be involved should be part of developing the project plan and agreeing on deadlines, resources and what needs to be done, and should also be able to see the project plan on an ongoing basis to check what needs to be done. Thanks Curesera -Google

Hi,

To be honest I was really worried about this course when I read that we would be discussing things like budget and the procurement process. But the course material and the practice exercises are so well designed that not only did I complete the course, I did so with flying colours. Have scrored the highest in this course so far on my learning journey and I'm feeling extremely happy and confident about completing the remaining 3 courses too. :)

Thank you so much for making learning fun and easy!

Excelente, las presentaciones son muy detalladas, accesibles para un rango amplio de usuarios. El curso en sí, más allá del contenido, me ha dado herramientas en su formato para aplicarlas y tenerlas en cuenta a la hora de preparar mis actividades académicas. De más está decir que el contenido del curso es una herramienta funcional, versátil y fungible para múltiples áreas en el mundo complejo que estamos inmersos hoy. Me alegro de haber tomado la iniciativa, ha sido fructífera y satisfactoria.

This course is exceptionally amazing ! I love the way how the course has been structured and the materials was to the point with extreme clarity. The course is very well relevant to the course title ,The tutor and the course planner should be applauded for their professional organisation and planning skills !Thank you so much !

This is how a course should be ! Felt satisfied of learning something without doubt due to the appropriate practical exercises ! thanks again team !

While I do understand the value of peer reviewed grading, unfortunately what I'm finding is that many assignments are incomplete or wrong, and it is taking a significant amount of time to correct and give feedback, meanwhile, it takes longer still to receive grading for my own assignments. I would suggest a priority queue, where after having completed the peer-grading requirement, your submitted assignment would get bumped up to those who are in the process of grading.

So informative! There are many hands-on assignments in this chapter, and I really felt connected to the course material! I likened it to finally needing to be sure about your college major, because you're in the thick of doing the work and if you don't like it by now....it might not be your thing. I was very EXCITED to continue learning and can't wait to get to the next chapter! Congrats on making it to 4/6, and good luck if you're thinking about starting!

Night and day compared to the Course 2.

Course 3 is awesome! It requires you to LOGICALLY think on a problem or question rather than paying attention on the irrelevant information (as in Course 2).

In Course 3, the questions and answers, the problems and solutions, the tasks and review methodologies were totally clear and straightforward.

There were, of course, some hick-ups, but only a few and nothing serious to have an impact on the whole impression.

Very useful, very well put together, with a lot of activities and examples to really share knowledge. And the other students in this course were very useful fo offer new perspective. Thank you for this great course. With this cession of the certificate, you can now have a better view of what is really project management and all it implicates. You can quickly understand that it is really a team effort, and you are merely a "chef d'orchestre".

On behalf of the learning journey, I’ve gained more practical tools in PM. The most important takeaway for me is: 1. I gained a perspective of continuous learning: learning by doing and practicing. We can improve ourselves no matter what you’ve achieved in the workplace. 2. Methodology simplifies the work process and accelerates its pace. 3. Both in the workplace and personal lives, we can use PM technical to improve our quality of life.

If you planning to get started in project management, this is one of those important course you need to take. Google did a wonderful job with this course and I learnt a lot myself like communication: its value and best practices, project documentation : tools, value and best practices, Budgeting: techniques, best approaches and so on down to risk management, procurement, scheduling and more. I had a wonderful experience with this course.

The organization of the content is excellent with a variety of videos, readings, quizzes, and activities. The material covered is perfect for a project manager or really anyone wanting to "bring order to chaos". Even on topics that I am already familiar with, there is always a small additional nugget of information that adds a new perspective or tool for my work. I'm deeply appreciative for the thoughtful way this has been put together.

I completed three the six courses in the project management course. The structure of these courses are very interactive, meaning you get the opportunity to view and create your own templates as you move through the course. The content is well put together and broken down in simple form which makes it easy to understand. Also liked being able to hear from persons who have been through the process. Loved and enjoyed all three courses.

Some concepts were really new to me like SMART, the P.A.R.I.S resume formula. There were many thing I did not know and this course provided me exactly what I wanted. It is a great course. I will advice students to take notes frequently when you take up this course it will be very helpful in actual project documentation. Maybe you are stuckup with something and can't find a way out, well your notes will lead you through.

I especially appreciated the emphasis on tailoring communication strategies to different audiences, a crucial skill often overlooked. The use of real-world examples and actionable tips makes the material readily applicable to various project environments. Whether you're new to project management or seeking to refine your communication skills, this course offers valuable knowledge and tools to enhance project success.

I enjoyed the course and it provides me with so much insights on project planning, one suggestion from me is to put a bit more emphasis on the Critical Path Method so students can learn how to identify it quantitatively, other than that this course is pretty well-made especially for beginners. Thank you Google and Coursera for making this program available, and thank you to Rowena for being a wonderful instructor.
