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

I'm giving it a five star because it taught me a lot about project management; starting from budgeting to risk management to effective communication skills. It was a whole lot but it worth it!

Be careful before enrolling and paying for this course, as the promised certificate may not be guaranteed. I completed the course successfully and paid all required fees, but I have not been able to obtain my certificate. They require ID verification, and their automated system rejects my Syrian passport. I am a legal resident in Portugal, but my residency permit is currently in the renewal process. I have official proof that the renewal is in progress, and my previous residency title remains valid until the process is completed. Despite this, Coursera has not provided me with a manual verification option. I have contacted the support team multiple times over more than one month, but I have not received a clear answer or a practical solution. This experience has been frustrating and disappointing, especially after successfully completing the course.

I enrolled in this course intending to pay for just one additional month, but I was automatically placed into a recurring subscription without any clear notification or warning before being charged. Because I didn’t know the charge was coming, I didn’t have the chance to cancel in time. When I contacted customer support to request a refund, I was told it wasn’t possible. I currently don’t have the time to participate in the course, so being charged for something I can’t use is incredibly frustrating. This experience left me feeling misled and unsupported. I would strongly encourage clearer billing notifications and more flexible customer service policies.
