About the Course

This is the fourth course in the Google Project Management Certificate program. This course 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 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: - Identify what aspects of a project to track and compare different tracking methods. - Discuss how to effectively manage and communicate changes, dependencies, and risks. - Explain the key quality management concepts of quality standards, quality planning, quality assurance, and quality control. - Describe how to create continuous improvement and process improvement and how to measure customer satisfaction. - Explain the purpose of a retrospective and describe how to conduct one. - Demonstrate how to prioritize and analyze data and how to communicate a project’s data-informed story. - Identify tools that provide effective project team communication and explore best practices for communicating project status updates. - Describe the steps of the closing process for stakeholders, the project team, and project managers....

This was an awesome course. I really learned so much about the correct to run, communicate and organize a project. My supervisor will be so happy that I have learned to communicate properly, and not use one or two work responses, when communicating with the team. Thank you Coursera!

Helpful to learn the relevant documentation in project management (e.g., Closeout Reports, Meeting Agendas), with a focus on teaching you how to be an efficient communicator and motivating team leader. A lot of the materials discusses how to approach situations with your soft-skills.

I have enjoyed going through the Project Execution: Running the Project as it gives me great insights into how not only to run a project well but to also seek ways within my own work and life environment to improve . Great job to the Google Team and the course trainers/ facilitators.

It delivers knowledge, structured knowledge, on how to execute project management which isn't fundamentally new but is grouped in a way that is simple and effective, and better yet, it gives you the language of how to engage with younger generations properly. Thanks for that Google!

Well structured and delivered with good content, and clear explanations of content. Various learning methodologies are employed to create a practical learning experience through a near simulated learning experience. Engagement and integrity based. Excellent and highly recommended.

I am happy to finish module 4 and I want to say that it is very voluminous and includes a lot of useful information. The course includes information on risk management, quality management, customer satisfaction measurement, data-based decision-making, leadership and team work.

It is a very practical and pragmatic course, since everything focuses on how to manage projects in the real world.

Excellent for those who want to learn to manage projects from the beginning.

An extra value is the benefit of accessing Google's knowledge in Project Management.

I wanted to delve into the abandoned and never-ending projects, because they are the cases that have touched me and that have always been difficult for me to adapt, either due to my own limitations or due to disadvantageous conditions for the team that I have had to direct.

AMAZING! The teaher in this course did an awesome job at explaining everything. She made me feel like I actually in a classroom. I also loved the fact she didnt leave us to read a million sheets of paper by ourselves she taught the lessons. I feel accomplished, thank you!

I loved the teacher for this course. And it was good to hear about this side as none of my experience doing any project management seemed to include the closing ascpect of projects. I think many companies skip over this aspect. Thank you for the information and course !

This course tasked me, in a good way. I got to actively apply all I've been learning in previous courses and started enjoying it. I used to see studying as a chore but this part of the specialization made it interesting! Big ups to the team and presenter/tutor!

There were a number of new (to me) concepts in this course, but thansk to the strong foundation of the previous courses and the excellent instruction and materials it has been exciting to learn. Google's teams have done an excellent job crafting these courses!

Best certification I have ever taken (out of 20 courses or so). Filled with practical assignments and good examples. It is definitely a more time consuming course, but you will actually get your hands dirty with a lot of project management documents & skills.

This course provides a great framework that can be used during the project execution and closeout phases of any project. Project managers in any industry can use the notes and examples from this course as a cheatsheet as they navigate through their projects.

Such a detailed course. Just like in many other things, Google has hit the nail right on the head! Loved it. I wish there were a little more practice work on the project management tools and software. Apart from that, it was way above my expectation!

Exceptionally good! The teacher thoroughly understands the subject and makes learning a breeze! Well, the course is heavy on content, so she makes it as light as it can be, but don't be fooled, there a lot to learn. Worth every penny, every second!
