About the Course

This is the second course in the Google Project Management Certificate program. This course will show you how to set a project up for success in the first phase of the project life cycle: the project initiation phase. In exploring the key components of this phase, you’ll learn how to define and manage project goals, deliverables, scope, and success criteria. You’ll discover how to use tools and templates like stakeholder analysis grids and project charters to help you set project expectations and communicate roles and responsibilities. Current Google project managers will continue to instruct and provide you with hands-on approaches for accomplishing these tasks while showing you the best project management 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: - Understand the significance of the project initiation phase of the project life cycle. - Describe the key components of the project initiation phase. - Determine a project’s benefits and costs. - Define and create measurable project goals and deliverables. - Define project scope and differentiate among tasks that are in-scope and out-of-scope. - Understand how to manage scope creep to avoid impacting project goals. - Define and measure a project’s success criteria. - Complete a stakeholder analysis and explain its significance. - Utilize RACI charts to define and communicate project team member responsibilities. - Understand the key components of project charters and develop a project charter for project initiation. - Evaluate various project management tools to meet project needs....

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.

The week 4 assignment completion is broken. There are more than 17,000 discussion threads with people trying to get the assignment completed for the course certificate.

PLEASE FIX THIS!

very tough kinds of weekly quiz are designed , many many of topic content are repetative in every course that should be unique . Repetative wording create puzzling in minds ..

La pagina rebota mucho al momento de enviar las tareas . No obtengo la ayuda necesaria sobre eso y aun no revisan mi tarea de revisión a pesar que ya lo revisé y reenvié.

Content was great, but cannot earn more than one star due to mobile hostile format. In 2023, this is simply unacceptable. A study on Blockbuster should be considered.

I have completed everything in this course and it won't give me full completion credit because no one has graded my peer review work... this is a faulty requirement.

The word "success" and "successful" comes up about a million times in this course. Yet, the instructor they chose for the course cannot pronounce it "successfully".

No one is helping in reviewing the peer assignment. If it is not done then we won't get the course completion certificate. Peer assignment is poorly executed.

Peer assignment is very stressful. As no one helps in reviewing the assignment, we won't be able to get the course completion certificate.

Deletes progress once you miss deadlines. Certainly an IT issue. Very unfortunate given the expense for the course.
