About the Course

This is the second course in the Google Project Management Certificate program.

Although I took this course first before the foundation of project management I found I have known many terms in my real life so eager to start to learn more in-depth qualities of project management.

I would prefer that there be translation available for all languages, but in fact the course and its content are of great importance for those who want to start in the field of project management
