About the Course

This course is designed to give you the fundamentals of Project Management. You will learn the basic principles of Project Management by managing a fundraising event for your local farmers market. You will designate responsible team members to help you, build a timeline and see the different ways that you can manage the project. Together, we will walk through not only the documentation, but also the theories and reasoning behind each task. You will learn how to look at a large project and break it down into manageable pieces and then how to build an action plan so that you hit your deadlines with your team. By the end of the course, you will have created a Project Scope document, Stakeholder Responsibility Matrix, sequenced a task list, added task owners, and a explored several popular project views using Project Management software. You will be ready to tackle a project on your own or will be equipped to take a higher-level course in Project Management. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions....

It is a wonderful course though the training time was short, I wish there is a system that is available for someone to go back to or study whenever you wish to. (a study book) for reference purposes.

It might be because this is my first-ever Coursera Guided Project, but I find this material average and less enjoyable than conventional online courses. Using an old laptop that is connected to a standard internet connection in a developing country (which is notoriously dismal compared to developed countries) made the execution of the Guided Project problematic (since the "Guide" videos lagged often and the interface I worked on often lagged as well). Perhaps, taking this Guided Project with a state-of-the-art computer and a good internet connection will provide a better experience. Nevertheless, the material content is interesting and has encouraged me to take further courses on Project Management.

I liked the content of the course!

I didn't really like the cloud desktop. Documents were too small and unreadable in my laptop (I had to struggle by zooming the documents). I would have preferred to have the documents to download and open them locally.

The cloud platform was not accessible after some time. Only available for limited time.

Difficult for self paced course.

i learned common terms for views and methods in Asana that i didn't previously know. it actually helped me. feel more confident in my abilities and approach. I would've liked to see how tasks were assigned etc but i already have a working knowledge on that from Asana just would have been curious to see the whole approach of a project from start to finish.

I liked the course a lot. It's could useful in thinking, organizing, and planning so many things. The problem I had while working on my laptop was I couldn't figure out how to submit my plan and go onto the RACI section so I just took the test without finishing the course. I still can't seem to get back to where I left off.

I recently completed the Project Management Course on Coursera, and I must say it was a life-changing experience. This course provides learners with a solid foundation of knowledge and practical abilities to flourish in this dynamic area, offering them with an unprecedented trip into the world of project management.

This is a concise, helpful course if you want to understand the basics of Project Management. I took a longer, more complex course which left me bamboozled as to how to actually put the basic project into action. This course keeps it simple and is very practical.

Good for starters! Did not have any idea on PM. Obviously this is a simple and straight guide but quite good for a first contact.
