About the Course

This is the third course in the Google Project Management Certificate program. This course will explore how to map out a project in the second phase of the project life cycle: the project planning phase. You will examine the key components of a project plan, how to make accurate time estimates, and how to set milestones. Next, you will learn how to build and manage a budget and how the procurement processes work. Then, you will discover tools that can help you identify and manage different types of risk and how to use a risk management plan to communicate and resolve risks. Finally, you will explore how to draft and manage a communication plan and how to organize project 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.

By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Describe the components of the project planning phase and their significance. - Explain why milestones are important and how to set them. - Make accurate time estimates and describe techniques for acquiring them from team members. - Identify tools and best practices to build a project plan and risk management plan. - Describe how to estimate, track, and maintain a budget. - Explain the procurement process and identify key procurement documentation. - Draft a communication plan and explain how to manage it. - Explain why milestones are important and how to set them. - Explain why a project plan is necessary and what components it contains. - Make accurate time estimates and describe techniques for acquiring them from team members....

Lots of great info. My only criticism would be that sometimes the information shared feels repetitive. I enjoyed learning about project planning because so many of the core principals are applicable in other fields and life in general.

I really appreciate the practical parts of this course - I learned a lot while doing the excercises. I only felt that this course was much harder and that it didnt prepare me as good for the final quizes like the other courses before.

Peer review have some shortcomings. There should be paid option to review assignments. Depending on the complexity, I think something between $1 to $10 USD could be doable for those that want feedback from an experience practitioner.

Very informative, but I needed more help and guidance on some of the forms with more explaination. Need more than quick overview of how to create a chart before having to be graded on having to do by ourselves. Just a suggestion.

The Training was a bit challenging as expected it cant be smoothe sailing all the way. The trainer was good, audible and clear in her explanations. I would recommend this course to anyone interested to pursue project management.

The lesson material and instructors are nothing short of exceptional.

I also would encourage that the peer-grading format be reviewed because it delays approval.

But in all, I am enjoying every bit of my learning here.

Thanks

Amazing as the others, but there was one quiz, I believe week 5 that was very confusing. The videos and texts did not necessarily convey clearly the information needed to be 100% sure how to answer some of the questions.

The course is designed to gain an overview of the industry. The only reason for giving the course a 4-star is that Google could help students work on real-time projects that could be added to the experience in resume.

The course is very well explained and aligned to basic requirements to be a Project Manager but it can be little short and upto the point, cause for working professionals like me. it is too lengthy.

The information is presented in a way that makes it easy to retain. The practice exercises reinforce the learning. My only suggestion is to allow learners to make .pdf copies of the readings.

I really enjoyed this course! I was able to evaluate myself on what I already knew and how much more I needed to learn about communicating and effective communication with project management.

The content of the course was good but some of the later activities were far too advanced and/or long. I didn't feel I has sufficient knowledge or resources to complete them with confidence.

Either the modules are lacking a bit of information or the questions are getting harder. I do not know exactly what could be or perhaps both things are happening. Anyway, I love my modules!

I have a very difficult time listening to female voices, which makes the learning experience quite challenging for me. I wish there were an option to choose the gender of the instructor.

The course was very good overall. I would like to see the time estimates for completing activities (not just readings and videos) in the overall estimate which shows on top of the page.

Good module! This certificate is complete, full of examples and provides you with multiple documents you can use in real life. I found it a bit longer than the rest, but great overall.

Great content and information on risk management, budgeting and effective communication. Some of the activities were a bit confusing and needed more information or context.

can reduce the number of peer graded assignments and replace with more practice challenges

the duration of videos can be cut into small pieces rather than 12 min long ones

I didn't enjoy the resume building section. I'm not looking for a job as a project manager--I'm simply wanting to use the PM skills I'm learning in my current role.

The Peer grading is too cumbersome and inconsistent for my liking. I had to resubmit the same project a couple of times to get mine completed.

Other than that - Great

Very valuable information and organizational tools! I just had the feeling that it is all subjective. I would have liked to lean on more on purpose of communication.
