About the Course

In Course 4 of the Google Project Management Certificate program, you will delve into the execution and closing phases of the project life cycle. You will learn what aspects of a project to track and how to track them. You will also learn how to effectively manage and communicate changes, dependencies, and risks. As you explore quality management, you will learn how to measure customer satisfaction and implement continuous improvement and process improvement techniques. Next, you will examine how to prioritize data, how to use data to inform your decision-making, and how to effectively present that data. Then, you will strengthen your leadership skills as you study the stages of team development and how to manage team dynamics. After that, you will discover tools that provide effective project team communication, how to organize and facilitate meetings, and how to effectively communicate project status updates. Finally, you will examine the steps of the project closing process and how to create and share project closing 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.

This part of the course was very disappointing to me. It was boring, I feel I learned nothing, it actually made me confused by the whole concept and everything I've learned here so far.

I really missed the readings after the videos: In the previous courses there was a reading after every single video, so I could just watch and listen to the videos, then take notes using the readings. In this course I had to continuously stop the video, rewind, and take notes, it was very frustrating.

I am more surprised by the lack of readings because this course even mentions that there are three kinds of people when it comes to learning something, somebody learns after hearing, some after reading, some by practicing, and I liked the previous courses because they offered 3 of them with redundancy. So after I heard, read, and practiced the same thing I felt I understood and learned it. Now I feel I'll forget all of these I heard here. I've taken notes but still, I feel disappointed and a waste of time and money after this course.

The previous courses were pretty awesome, especially the first 2.

I still think the language of the quiz questions is too difficult for non-native speakers.

The presenter is enthusiastic and energetic, and there was good information. But the extreme infuxuation in her voice went from what sounded like shouting to inaudible whispers. I noticed it most in the first 3 weeks of this course. The first word would be really really loud and certain points she would make would be similarly loud, and the end of the sentence would trail off to low inaudible volumes. This was a difficult listening experience because in order to hear the quiet parts of the voice, I had to turn the volume loud enough that the louder parts of the speech pattern were a shock to my system. I listen to the videos on my communite, so visually following the transcript is not an option. This was the case for all the speakers in the first three weeks, and not so much the latter 3. It was distracting from the material, and made concentration nearly impossible. Thank you for considering this issue.

This course is way too long and convoluted. So much of this course is repeated over and over again, but then crucial information you need for quizzes is mentioned in passing in a video and good luck finding it afterwards. For someone who studies methodically and likes to take noted this video-full course was hard to get through.

The content was good but it was very hard to understand what the speaker is saying. She didn't have natural pauses between the words. It was a big problem for me as I had to read the subtitles which took a lot of time. I don't recommend that course due to this issue.

Knowing doesn't mean the ability to give it to someone else. The first part of the class went smoothly, but then it became tough to follow. The instructor should have ideas or examples to illustrate and explain the class to make it easy for the students. Thanks

As a data savy manager and heavy user, the way the data part is pictured is just wrong. Way too basic and build up with the wrong focus the be actually actionable. I think any other Data user will have raised the hands to the sky as I did.

It wasn’t the best course out of the six. While it included important information, it also felt a bit repetitive, with much of the content overlapping with the previous courses.

The course is basic. I was hoping for some serious tips/insights from Googlers about how they actually go about their projects. It is BASIC.

some of the information discussed seem like it was just busy work and had nothing to do with project management

The content in this course seemed duplicated. Module 3, 4, and 5 could have bee shortened substantially.

Too much theory that will be easily forgotten. The important concepts have not been worked correctly in the practical exercises. Outdated and unhelpful teaching method. Very disappointing.

Not worth the time, money and energy spent as when you have queries, no ways to find response
