The course is relevant. I apply the information learned to my every day work. While the discussion prompts, once answered, can be a bit difficult to naviagate due to the increasingly large amount of responses and users, the course itself is well taught, reinforced, and hands on.

Very comprehensive and well designed foundation course. I enjoyed several inputs and thoughts shared by Google team , their perspective and roles and responsibilities. It seems everyone is passionate and enjoy their responsibilities, interactions with people and delivery results.

It is a good start for those who know nothing of project management. I really liked the pace of the entire course. The only thing that sets me off is so much time invested on job search, I believe job search might be a topic better suited for later courses but I might be wrong.

Brilliant course. I have done other Project Management courses in the past (none Google) and can say Google's Foundation Of Project Management smashed those out of the water. The blend of ways the course is taught is fantastic and great learning experience. On to the next one!
