About the Course

You made it! Applying Project Management in the Real World is the sixth and final course in the Google Project Management program. In this capstone course, you will practice applying the project management knowledge and skills you have learned so far. If you haven’t taken Courses 1-5 yet, we highly recommend doing so, as they provide the foundation necessary to complete the activities in this course. As you progress through this course, you will “observe” a project manager in a real-world scenario and complete dozens of hands-on activities. By the end of this course, you will have developed a portfolio of project management artifacts that will demonstrate the skills you have learned throughout the entire program, such as the ability to manage stakeholders and teams, organize plans, and communicate project details. These artifacts can exhibit their career readiness when applying for jobs in the field. To further prepare you to interview for project management jobs, you will reflect on past projects, develop an “elevator pitch,” and anticipate common interview questions. By the end of this course, you will be able to do the following: - analyze project documents to identify project requirements and evaluate stakeholders - complete a project charter and use it as a tool to align project scope and goals among stakeholders - identify tasks and milestones and document and prioritize them in a project plan - define quality management standards and explore how to effectively share qualitative data - demonstrate your project’s impact through effective reporting Google employees who currently work in the field will guide you, providing hands-on activities and examples that simulate common project management tasks while showing you some of the best tools and resources used on the job. Learners who complete the six courses in this program will be prepared to apply for entry-level jobs in project management. No previous experience is necessary....

This course is fantastic! Though I am a skilled project manager; there are some good takeaways from this course; and Google Instructors talk about the best practices used at Google in a lucid manner!

This was quite good. I realy enjoyed the varying ways the material was presented as it kept me engaged. It wasn't endless pages of reading. There were a minimum number of glitches to have to work through.

The applied concepts, techniques and hands-on experience I gained are so spectacular! But I found it slightly hard to go through all of these reading materials to complete the required assignments.

very comprehensive course with a lot of hands on and assignment to do. I could rate it 5 if the assignment graded by instructors but it get graded by other fellow learner who use wide range metric.

I found this course to be excellent, very comprehensive.

As part of the overall program there is, however a fair amount of overlap with the other courses, and could have been shorter.

The course is fine, but allowing other students to purpossly give zero point to others grade, which isdelaying people from getting there certificate and have to keep on resubmitting.

This was a really great course. I feel though that we could have used more exercises in resolving conflict during project implementation. I'm still very happy to have taken it.

Would have loved if peers could additionally rate students on the content of their answers if they fully represent or are related to the questions they are answering

Some complicated items for the capstone, i think instructions were a bit confusing. Or maybe i was distracted. Overall a very useful course to refresh the concepts.

El curso tiene un MUY BUEN nivel. En los primeros cursos hubo interacción con facilitadores que creo se debe mejorar, pero a nivel general, ALTAMENTE recomendable.

I missed the templates of the project plan with "right" answers / information at the end of every section. I still don´t know how good the document was elaborated.

This is a good way to wrap up learning from start to finish. The video content and peer reviews though were a bit cumbersome. Overall, well worth going through it.

I couldn't find many faults with this course, I really enjoyed it. It could have been a bit shorter as the optional stuff was a bit frustrating but it was ok.

The peer review needs to be corrected. Many people are posting other people's work and some don't understand English. They do not properly grade assignments

The exercises were helpful but after 5 long courses in this certificate program, the last one seemed to stretch out a bit with no real purpose.
