About the Course

In Course 4 of the Google Project Management Certificate program, you 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.

Current Google project managers will continue to instruct you in how to accomplish all of these tasks, describing the right tools and resources for the job at hand.

I'm glad that I took this course because I could learn more about Retrospective and learn something I didn't really know about, which is the "Closing" process of a project.

It was a very immersive and interesting course -- a lot of self-learning to be done on my own to really understand and put together into practice the methedology.

I recently completed the Project Execution: Running the project course certification offered by Google on Coursera, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of the course material and the delivery. Here's my review:

Firstly, the course is very well structured and organized. It starts with the basics of project management and then gradually builds up to more advanced topics. The course covers everything from creating a project plan and identifying and managing risks to tracking progress and communicating with stakeholders. The lessons are easy to follow, and the course is designed to be completed at your own pace.

Secondly, the course is very practical and hands-on. Throughout the course, there are numerous exercises and assignments that allow you to apply what you have learned. This not only reinforces your understanding of the concepts but also gives you practical experience in project management.

Thirdly, the course is taught by industry experts who have a wealth of knowledge and experience in project management. They share real-life examples and case studies that help you understand how to apply the concepts in the real world.Finally, the course is offered by Google, a well-respected company in the technology industry. This gives the course credibility and ensures that the course material is up-to-date and relevant.

Overall, I highly recommend the Project Execution: Running the project course certification offered by Google on Coursera. It is an excellent course for anyone looking to develop their project management skills, and the quality of the course material and delivery is top-notch.

I gave it 4 * only because I felt excluded from teaching due to lack of reading materials. We all learn things differently (watching, listening, doing) I had to read the script to learn the course materials.

This part of the specialization is a bit lengthy, but course contents are excellent. Whole course is designed very well. Only thing need to improve is instructor's pace and delivery. Her sound dies out by the end of her sentences. Maybe because I am not a native english speaker thats why I had difficulty listening to her compared to other instructors in this specialization.

The course is too long and some contents is similar to previous courses, although the instructor speaking style is better than in course 3. Also, in the data visualisation part, the content is too shallow.

Very boring in the middle! Absolutely impractical lectures about data, teambuilding and influence and no hands-on experience. The worst course in the specialisation so far.

The teacher is well-spoken and knows the material. However, the time-frames given are very misleading because there are so few readings to use as notes. It would be much easier and organized to provide a reading before each video lesson that summarizes the main topics and some of the more important details. Then, when a student watches the video they will have already read the material and can add to the notes they have printed out. This would help throughout the entire course. This course in particular had an enormous amount of extra notes, so the videos took much longer than predicted.

The quality of this course is below Google average.

The instructor is very bad and the supporting materials are insuficient.

It is a shame and a waste of time

Repetitive and a large amount of unecessary information. I feel as though all the videos and repetitive, long readings, are just there to fill time.
