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. Finally, you will examine the steps of the project closing process and how to create and share project closing 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. Learners who complete this program should be equipped to apply for introductory-level jobs as project managers. No previous experience is necessary.

I totally enjoyed the course. However, I consider some videos too long. Some lasted up to 7-8 minutes and it took a lot of commitment and determination to stay though to the end. I generally prefer videos being a maximum of 5 minutes long.

It was very well organized. I would like to comment on peer graded assignment. After I completed the course , I waited long to get my assignment peer graded. You need to change the way we will be getting evaluated. Time is priceless.

Thank you, Elita!

This course was a blast!

I savoured it to the last drop. I specifically loved topics such as “Writing an effective escalation email”, or Quality Management. Thank you for the course one more time!

Kind regards,

Learned a lot of information. I thought project management was just about communication and delegating tasks to team members but project closure really opened my eyes to how important this is before moving on to another project.

This course was long but thorough!!! I learned a significant amount pertaining to accessibility, soft skills and overly communicating and ensuring everyone is on the same accord. It is definitely worth adding to your repertoire.

Compared to the first 3 courses in this specialization, this one was quite some work... Just like it is supposed to be when you are running a project. I love how the facilitator ensured that it was engaging and a good vibe.

The course offers a great framework for running cross-functional projects at various scales. It's rather an overview than a deep dive. It is good for exploring relevant topics, but you need to look for details elsewhere.

The course was well organized and covered not only the basics but all the essential parts of project management that even if you are already been working as a project manager for a while, can still be beneficial to you.

It was a great course. It will help me out in my project task, special the concept of clouser repot at the end of the project. Beofre this course I don't think that it was that much important with this much inforamtion.

Comprehensive; well planned, organized, and sourced; easy to understand and thought-provoking. Processes courses tend to be dry and devoid of inspiration; the professor is motivating, well-spoken, candid, and succinct.
