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.

A tough fast-paced course that allowed me to learn, yet didn't "indoctrinate" me into a box designed for someone else. Kudos!

In the course you will apply what you have learnt before. Somehow harder than the previous ones, but nevertheless very useful!

It was a great course, but includes much experience sharing videos. One is enough, if it actually focuses on the topic.

Great course. It was great to learn that closure and completion are totally different things, each has its own steps.
