About the Course

This is the third course in the Google Project Management Certificate program, which focuses on the second phase of the project life cycle: the project planning phase. 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. Finally, you will explore how to draft and manage a communication plan and how to organize project documentation. 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. Learners who complete this program should be equipped to apply for introductory-level jobs as project managers. No previous experience is necessary. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Describe the components of the project planning phase and their significance. - Explain why milestones are important and how to set them. - Make accurate time estimates and describe techniques for acquiring them from team members. - Identify tools and best practices to build a project plan and risk management plan. - Describe how to estimate, track, and maintain a budget. - Explain the procurement process and identify key procurement documentation. - Draft a communication plan and explain how to manage it. - Explain why milestones are important and how to set them. - Explain why a project plan is necessary and what components it contains. - Make accurate time estimates and describe techniques for acquiring them from team members....

This course, the fifth of six, helped bring the pieces in the first four parts into a broad workflow. I really gained an understanding of the importance of each distinct step and how they all meshed

The speaker is clear and articulate. I appreciate this. The content is too long for this course. The peer graded evaluations are a joke, and the worst parts. It's how they circumnavigate paying someone to grade and provide professional feedback to your queries. I learn nothing from peers, and feel pressured to mark theirs correct even though it's questionably wrong. I learn far more from the exemplars, those are the keys here. Also, the "reading" sections are the ultimate takeaway from this course, save those. The resume portion is great if you've never had a job and/or never created a resume. The tips are generic and Google will ABSOLUTELY not look at you if your resume looks anything like the one they list as an example. I am living proof. I've done A/B testing, controls, variations, read books, tried it all. The content could be more concise and less all over the place. They would benefit from repetition of where the main points fit in the overall process (all 6 courses) because it's so much specific detail that you get lost when you don't do this daily. They need to tie it all together (to the larger picture) weekly, not by course. I learned some, and it was valuable info. Yet, I had to focus to take away the impactful information. I appreciate the blank documents to use or adapt to my own standards, or to simply use as a reference. Those are great. I do feel that we're getting some generic, half-baked idea of what Google actually does. The "real world" clips of workers throughout the first 3 courses seem mostly unprofessional, and really just stress one key point you read about prior. I don't get the influence of a mentor or someone I ACTUALLY want to learn from. I don't feel as if I know what they actually do. I took this course over the PMI because I wanted an idea of MODERN approaches and day to days. However, I don't think Google will actually share what they do, and I now understand that everything from this course will in no way allow me to capture that unicorn of a job at Google. I didn't have anyone pay for my school, so I couldn't afford the Ivy Leagues and their placement programs, lol. Maybe I can pivot after the 6th course and somehow get a phone call back from the years of Google applications I fill out. That being said, you can learn something from this, but don't expect much in the ways of real world job applicability, especially the resume/digital profile.

I was excited for peer reviewed assignments, but many aspects of these are dissapointing.

I have recieved one instance of peer feedback where the grader provided their WhatsApp number and told me I should get in touch with them, which I don't feel is appropriate.

I have recieved a peer review where the reviewer took points off and said I was missing part (listing milestones) despite the assignment being complete (and having the milestones clearly listed).

I have reviewed multiple assignments for the escalation email assignment where other students have copy+pasted elements from the example email in the reading. This is particularly troublesome for the grading where I have to decide whether to give credit for having these elements or not give points because the portions of the email they copied aren't relevant to the situation presented in the assignment.

Course content is too long & less engaging even for an experienced professional. Course instructor is highly knowledgeable, language is clear but looking serious (Hardly smiles) most of the time & its not helpful to engage & focus in a static video lecture environment. [ I do have similar characteristics as an engineering professional & that's out of trend in current timeline! ] I Understand we have a general topic for project plants pal, easy to understand for all group of people. But, using the same for all examples & case studies is not interesting on repetitively used in all chapters & modules. [ Yes. I understand one common theme explained for all 6 chapters makes learning easier & give a whole picture, but its neither engaging nor interesting ]
