Gain confidence when dealing with stakeholders of major projects by learning to identify and manage those that are involved in the project planning and delivery. This course will enable you to explore project governance in theory and practice. Through real life examples you’ll understand how the critical challenges of the governance in major projects are resolved. Being able to successfully manage risk and uncertainty in major projects is vital for their delivery. In this course you’ll learn to distinguish between risk and uncertainty and the role of risk register. You’ll identify the unique challenges of scope management in major projects and employ scope management tools and techniques that will facilitate your project planning. This course explores concepts analysed in the University’s Online MSc in Engineering Management. If you are interested to develop your skills further, take a look at our online degree.
It would be nice to have like a case study developed for us to work on. Something that we can proudly prepare a portfolio to show we have hands on - like with a Capstone project
Great Course with many areas to learn with regards to major projects , work breakdown and risk etc.
I have learned more in detail concepts I deal with during my working experience. Clear and punctual way of explaining.
The course is really informative and detailed reading with the extra reading provides a good set of knowledge.
It is the best course from an outstanding university.
Excellent and very useful informations learned in this course.
The quality and utility of these lessons give you the tools to explore and managing projects. Great course.
It was a very good course and i really enjoyed it
Had a lot of fun doing it! Keep up the great work.
The module is packed with insights and stuff that can be practically implemented on a project execution.
It was great experience by learning the course by self reading and understanding.
It was good experience learning with Coursera and the University of Leeds.

As much as the material is decent, not many practical examples are show; The methods given to properly manage a project could be better explained, instead of just glanced over. The peer reviewed assignments are useless due to the amount of people just asking and giving full marks randomly.
Covers much more than I expected.
Interesting course content. In my opinion, aside of quizzes, personal works (incl. risk register and final presentation on governance) requested a very significant amount of time (excessive?) in order to prepare them seriously with diverse references on a given real project.
This aspect of managing major engineering project is key and intresting, i learned the identification of stakeholders (both internal and external) and their role and influence on projects, identifying, assessing and mitigating risk factors and how to manage them.
I must say thank you to Coursera and our Instructors, Dr. Giogio Locatelli and co.
The course has been excellent. The coursework material (videos, lectures, articles, etc.) is really useful to understand Governance, Risks and Scope in Major projects. The academics that put together this programmes are top class and leaders in their field. I am very satisfied with this course.
Curso muito bom, de fácil entendimento, didático e interessante. Tenho certeza que vai me ajudar bastante na minha carreira, aprendi conceitos importantes da dimensão de trabalho e importância que os grandes projetos exigem de seus colaboradores. Pretendo continuar a especialização, com certeza!
I really like the contents of the course, they are simple, understandable, but complete. In doing the assignments, the course materials can be reviewed again, solidifying our understanding. Do not rush to complete this course as fast as possible, just take your time because it is enjoyable!
Great course for any who wants to improve the project management skills. Goes beyond the basics and presents questions surrounding large projects, such as contracts, contractors and sub-contractors, and relationships with different stakeholders.
This course has everything that will improve your understanding of Governance, Risk and Scope associated with Major Engineering Projects.
Thank you to the team that put it together
