There're a lot more terms and definitions in this Course compared to previous ones, and it makes this Course harder and more rewarding to finish.

Even after finishing the course, there're still many things that take time to experience and master to actually contribute a lot more to the success of your project, your team and your own career

It was challenging for me because I don't have a background on project management but it's an interesting course and journey for me. It takes dedication to go through the courses. The instructors are good at what they do and i appreciate them all. Thank you and thank you google for creating the platform such as this to impact lives.

Very interesting course. It is amazing how small details get analyzed and how useful they could have been if properly implemented in the past. It is a very intense course covering many fundamental areas, from skillfully writing an email to produce the right documentation for closing a project. Thumbs up. I had a great time learning.

Great course! We should all adopt the "learning by doing" methodology for greater interest.

I look forward to doing a Project / Program / Portfolio / Product Manager job at Google, helping billions of people worldwide with my knowledge and skills. I wish I will be recruited soon by seniors at Google.

Thank you. Have a nice day. :)

This course pulls the team management and communication piece of Project Management all together. It also ties in all answers several areas that I had placed a mental thought here and there while learning. Which now makes sense when you end a module, and the instructor says we will learn more about this in a later module.

The course is an excellent reminder about the importance of not only running a project but closing it. The exercises are well thought out and provide fundamental insight into how to communicate with stakeholders and project members. I would recommend it to anyone getting into project management and anyone wanting a refresh.

I loved the course and its contents.

Elita is an excellent communicator and I loved the way and dynamism she puts in the videos. Congratulations Elita!

I would like to have more questions about the contents during, or at the end of the videos. To confirm that I am acquiring and absorbing the necessary knowledge.

Thank you :)

I have learned so much from how to be an effective PM to running a successful project from the beginning to the end and how to properly close out the project. I am more confident in myself now than I was when I started! I am excited and look forward to leading projects and build a positive team culture with my teams.

I have a small business and this specialization has been deeply helpful. I have been learning so much valuable and practical content that helps me managing my business better. I'd say that this is what I enjoy the most about the specialization as a whole, it's really hands-on and this improves my learning journey.

I liked the instructor the best in this course so far. They were more engaging. I do think that it focused more on communication rather than the flow of a project during it, but I do think it held a lot of great information and I liked that the material was more spread out. It worked better with my busy schedule.

My last year 2022 ended with a lot of challenges and blown-off opportunities, and for me this means starting on a new adventure by engaging myself in self paced learning and development tasks. I had achieved my goals somehow but my two last courses of Google Project management remained. That's the only lament

Confident ot walk into a room announce as the poject management. Pick, or received an assigned team devise a service, or a deliverable from start, implemented (or delivered) , closed, and to hand-off. The reward well be to work with amazing, and supportive people as such the student-learners at Coursera.

I really enjoyed this course. I learned that a proper closing is important to how future projects are handled and assigned. Closeout is the part that people are so happy to get to but don't necessarily want to do. If handled properly, the next project will already be ready for you to start with much ease.

Ha sido uno de los cursos mas completos y detallados en cuanto a cierre de la gestión administrativa y operativa de proyectos. Los documentos que se deben generar, las dinámicas que se deben llevar, incluso como escribir un correo. Lo recomiendo para todos los que tengan problemas para cerrar proyectos.

One more course with lots of interesting and well-structured content (as always), but a bit long. I especially liked the last part - "Closing a project" - I had no idea that just because a project is done doesn't mean it's closed. All criteria, steps to take and documentation to be addressed... Amazing!

This course was an excellent wrap-up to the Project Management specialization. The videos are engaging and provide just the right amount of information in bite-sized pieces so you can easily work through at your own pace. The material covered is relevant, and I appreciate the many useful templates.

Please, change the instructor. She is speaking very quickly, unclear, the tone of her voice is unpleasant and it is difficult to understand what she tells even reading the subtitles. English is not my native language and it is very hard for me to understand the materials of this course. Thank you!

I like the pace of the course but I would have really benefited from watching someone actually close the project (step-by-step) since it's such an integral component of successful project management. Seeing someone close the project compared to what is currently available would be more beneficial.
