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.

The course had exciting and engaging content. Although it was long, it felt worth it as I learned a lot. With the knowledge from this course, I am confident in doing more research independently.

Course too easy and not in depth enough. Would need a lot more, a lot harder tasks to actually learn something.

Week 5 content was basically a waste of time, how to build a strong CV doesn't relate to this learning path.

It is pretty good but I didn't like presentation at all :( Informative but it doesn't feel it is organized.
