Capstone: Applying Project Management in the Real World

You made it! Applying Project Management in the Real World is the final course in the Google Project Management program. In this capstone course, you will practice applying the project management knowledge and skills you have learned so far. If you haven’t taken Courses 1-6 yet, we highly recommend doing so, as they provide the foundation necessary to complete the activities in this course. As you progress through this course, you will “observe” a project manager in a real-world scenario and complete dozens of hands-on activities. By the end of this course, you will have developed a portfolio of project management artifacts that will demonstrate the skills you have learned throughout the entire program, such as the ability to manage stakeholders and teams, organize plans, and communicate project details. These artifacts can exhibit their career readiness when applying for jobs in the field. 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: - Analyze project documents to identify project requirements and evaluate stakeholders. - Complete a project charter and use it as a tool to align project scope and goals among stakeholders. - Identify tasks and milestones and document and prioritize them in a project plan. - Define quality management standards and explore how to effectively share qualitative data. - Demonstrate your project’s impact through effective reporting. Google employees who currently work in the field will guide you, providing hands-on activities and examples that simulate common project management tasks while showing you some of the best tools and resources used on the job.

The applied concepts, techniques and hands-on experience I gained are so spectacular! But I found it slightly hard to go through all of these reading materials to complete the required assignments.

I found the course very interesting and detailed, at times a little repetitive but very well structured overall. I would recommend the course to colleagues. But I did find the course quite long.

is a great course to get your feet wet in Project Management. This is not the same level as a PMP cert but will give you an overview of what you need to understand what people are referring to.

This course allowed me to apply the tools and information gained through the entire certificate...but in a guided and safe context. I appreciated the Capstone element to the program so much!

This course is fantastic! Though I am a skilled project manager; there are some good takeaways from this course; and Google Instructors talk about the best practices used at Google in a lucid manner!
