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....

The course was as if you were in the class discussing with other peers. Very helpful and if you get stuck, it was easy to navigate on google, by asking questions and you get the appropriate answers in time, and easy to move on to the next topic.

Best course I have ever taken (out of 20 or so). Filled with practical assignments and good examples. It is definitely a more time consuming course, but you will actually get your hands dirty with a lot of project management documents & skills.

Excellent course for those who want a solid foundation in project management. The skills learned here are directly applicable to what you would learn taking a CSM, CSPO, or other foundations of project management course. Excellent quality.

This is the best part of the six courses, where you got to put to practice all you've learned along the way. It was fun, engaging, and challenging, and above all, I gained valuable knowledge on how to manage a project from start to finish.

I enjoyed the course, but really wish it lead to a PMP certification rather than simply a discount on the CAPM. Many of us already have PM experience, but the PMP exam is expensive, so a way to complete it would have really been helpful!
