The course itself was very useful, I had the chance to learn many new things about project management. At the same time, I had some issues with some parts of the quizzes. Many possible answers were similar for certain questions, and it was hard to figure out which one is right according to the quiz developer.

Very well structured course with clear strategic approach, by linking it's content to the next courses under the Project Management Certificate program. Provides very good explanation about how to organize a project planning phase successfully. The course is delivered in an interactive and engaging way.

This course is very helpful even for those who have experience in managing projects. Planning is a part that might be ignored for a project. But how well a project is planned will impact significantly the efficiency and the outcome of a project.

The templates Google shared are quite useful. Thank you.

This one is certainly a firehouse of information, compared to previous courses. It also has you thinking more about open-ended questions, and referencing past work, so it really feels like more of a training program programs for project management and less like a cram session of keywords and concepts.

Super helpful, useful and necessary not just for work projects but also for personal life, too. I wish my high school had taught the foundations and techniques of project management 20+ years ago. This should be required curriculum for public schools so students can plan their own success in life.

Practical and insightful. Have learnt stuff I do at work blindly and yes having connected the dots backwards, I am proud of myself taking it. It has enhanced my knowledge and application of some important ideas that I never knew were vital for Project Planning - Putting It All Together.

I LOVE that they don't just cover how to build a resume but they give a template and other great information on how to build the best resume. I rushed through it during the course but will certainly go back and create a more detailed resume at the end of the program. Thank you Google!

I've loved these courses so far. The only thing I would add is when I'm watching the videos, I'm not able to reverse the video 10 seconds like most videos let you. That would be an awesome feature to add as sometimes I need to go back to listen to things the instructor talked about.

The course is really well build up, using tools from "ultralearning"in order to help you better understand and fixate the information. I also find it to be extremely dense with a lot of valuable information. It might be useful to make a lot of notes while going through the course.

Very well structured and easy to understand. Many thanks to the Instrutors, they really communicate clear and become easy to learn. The budget and procurement process become more easy, that really is. We have the clear idea of how to map out a project in the planning phase.

An incredibly well-designed course! The teacher is knowledgeable, covers every aspect of the proposed programme and makes you want to see what is in the next module. I also strongly recommend this module because it deals with the communication plan, a susceptible PM area.

Great course on how to start putting all the initial plans together for a good start. There are many things here that one can learn. So many documents or artifacts to create. Ideal for anyone that has very little to no experience in what a true Project Manager should do.

I am Adham Bani Salameh.

It was a very cool course. I don't know where to start, but there was a tremendous amount of information and it changed my perspective dramatically. If I could rate it more than 5 stars I would put 100 stars.

All the love for Google and Coursera
