About the Course

You made it! Applying Project Management in the Real World is the sixth and final course in the Google Project Management program. In this capstone course, you will practice applying the project management knowledge and skills you have learned so far. If you haven’t taken Courses 1-5 yet, we highly recommend doing so, as they provide the foundation necessary to complete the activities in this course. As you progress through this course, you will “observe” a project manager in a real-world scenario and complete dozens of hands-on activities. By the end of this course, you will have developed a portfolio of project management artifacts that will demonstrate the skills you have learned throughout the entire program, such as the ability to manage stakeholders and teams, organize plans, and communicate project details. These artifacts can exhibit their career readiness when applying for jobs in the field. To further prepare you to interview for project management jobs, you will reflect on past projects, develop an “elevator pitch,” and anticipate common interview questions. By the end of this course, you will be able to do the following: - analyze project documents to identify project requirements and evaluate stakeholders - complete a project charter and use it as a tool to align project scope and goals among stakeholders - identify tasks and milestones and document and prioritize them in a project plan - define quality management standards and explore how to effectively share qualitative data - demonstrate your project’s impact through effective reporting Google employees who currently work in the field will guide you, providing hands-on activities and examples that simulate common project management tasks while showing you some of the best tools and resources used on the job. Learners who complete the six courses in this program will be prepared to apply for entry-level jobs in project management. No previous experience is necessary....
