You will examine the key components of a project plan, how to make accurate time estimates, and how to set milestones. Next, you will learn how to build and manage a budget and how the procurement processes work. Then, you will discover tools that can help you identify and manage different types of risk and how to use a risk management plan to communicate and resolve risks.

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.

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.

C'est un cours que j'ai beaucoup apprécié; en particulier la manière d'enseigner de l'instructrice qui a une très bonne diction. Si bien qu'on la comprenait facilement quand elle parle. Bravo à elle et à l'équipe d'avoir su la sélectionner parmi les instructeurs.

Personally I enjoyed it and it was pretty good and informative, but compared to the first two courses it was like a big jump in like difficulty, it had more graded content and longer modules and videos than anticipated. Still it was a nice learning experience.

A small fraction of my peers were a little harsh on the peer exercises. For instance, one of my colleagues said that my project summary was less than desirable. His tone was offensive and the comment was not helpful. He did not mention what needed improvement.
