There was so much information packed into this course, and it was presented in a clear way, without being overwhelming. I learned that I was indeed already doing project management in my last job; I just didn't know it! This foundations course helped me discern what I already know about project management, and the correct terminology for the roles and duties. It also introduced me to the aspects of the work with which I have had no experience, so I know what concepts and skills I will need to focus on and learn to be a better project manager. I'm looking forward to the next course in the series!

The course is so engaging and professionally structured that it is as inspiring as possible to follow: video lessons are interspersed with text documents, supplemented by practical examples and interesting assignments.  A regular quiz on each individual block helps you internalise the knowledge you've gained. The course will be useful for the beginner - there is a lot of new information to be learned. The course will also help experienced professionals - it perfectly structures the knowledge they have previously acquired and gives a new boost of professional motivation.Translated with DeepL

I absolutely love these courses, because it offers ample opportunity to learn a new skill that is applicable to real life. Knowledge, is a Powerful tool that will help me get ahead in the employment arena. I am so very appreciative that the courses were affordable too, which contributed to my motivation to take advantage of this golden opportunity to learn something new and useful. Thank You Google, & The Coursera staff, for thinking of folks like myself, and providing a platform that encourages educational growth! And not charging an arm and a leg for it. This is to me, is a win/win.

The instructor is excellent and he really followed course material from the beginning to the end. It was so pleasant listening to him and he explained everything in detail, often using real-life examples and situations that he had encountered. This course is a terrific introduction to Project Management and I am certain that both beginners and established Project Managers could benefit from listening to this program, because even though someone is a Project Manager, maybe they have missed some of the foundations mentioned in this course. I am very pleased and happy to continue my journey.

The course material was simple to follow and comprehend. Throughout the several presentations, the presenters were absolutely very clear. I had previously taken an online project management course, and doing so with Coursera has only added to my knowledge. In addition, this course taught me about some new project management methodologies and approaches, which I greatly appreciate. True, we live our lives in the same way that we manage daily projects, big and small. The fees are low, reasonable, and affordable, and I will enthusiastically recommend this course to others who are interested.

As a professional seeking to strengthen my project management skills, I found Google's "Foundations of Project Management" course uniquely valuable. It efficiently equips students with practical methodologies for systematically executing successful projects. I appreciated the course's practical approach over theoretical concepts. My strengthened skills for methodically leading business initiatives end-to-end will prove invaluable for driving my own professional growth. I highly recommend this course to any leader seeking to enrich their hands-on project execution abilities efficiently.

I liked the presenter - strong voice and has the work experience too. Good flow of modules that reinforce your learning step by step. Good use of interactivity to reinforce learning with some short quizzes, a few discussions, and some gameified learning tasks. I have previous practical experience managing group projects at my university, but never received any formal training/class that taught me formal methodologies and best practices. I enjoyed this course, given my prior experience as I made connections of my past experience with the methods/terms/studies presented in this course.

I wasn't sure about the assessment, but its actually alright. I think reliance on MCQs is overrated, so the other types of questions were appreciated, especially the different plug-ins. Discussion is alright, but having more directions about engaging with others would be helpful. Content itself is general, and easily understood. I'd say anyone with a good grasp of English could follow, and anyone who has ever done any role relating to project managment, which is everyone - would find this useful still. It helps put names to ideas we've had, and shows us now ideas too. Thank you.

The project management course covered essential skills, roles, and career paths for project managers. It also provided insights into project lifecycles and different approaches to managing projects. While some concepts were familiar, others were entirely new and insightful. The critical role of project governance and change management was also highlighted, which impacts project success. The course content helped me to identify project management responsibilities that appeal more to me than others. Overall, the course has been an informative and engaging learning experience.

I enjoyed the mixed methods in learning, which greatly improves distance learning away from just reading content. I also like learning checks and quizzes, with references to follow up on for wrong answers. The only thing I wasn't thrilled about is the lack of student discussions and collaboration. Student responses are optional and it seems students don't interact or respond when you reply to their responses. I think there's a missed opportunity here. I was reviewed and graded on my interation with other students for my BA and MA, which were both distance learning courses.

I am so impressed with various styles used in passing on the course content; It was fun and engaging. Completing this course gave me great insight on understanding the core roles, responsibilities, skills and values a project manager brings to the team for successful project delivery. This course equipped me with the different project management approaches with which to effectively deliver various project of varied nature and requirements. Also learning of organizational structure and culture gives that edge to easily align with team and stakeholders for project success.

Although I had learnt these topics in school, it has been a long time since those lessons. This course helped me to reflect on the projects I have taken on in these past 6 years and the factors that made them a success (or failure). I am currently in a transitional part of life, having left my first professional job, and eager to apply my efforts in a broader range of work. I enjoyed the learning experience, and look forward to completing more modules. Thank you Googlers for your contributions in creating and maintaining this course. I appreciate the choices you made.

I am really enjoying the course Foundations of Project Management. The instructors are very clear and concise and the different forms of presenting the information (videos, readings, interactive videos) make learning fun. This class gives an overview of Project Management including transferrable skills you may already have, project management roles, project management methodologies, organizational culture and more. I highly recommend the class and am looking forward the next five courses in the Project Management Certificate program. Thanks, Coursera and Google!

The course was a good overview of project management concepts. Efficient use of learning time. Effective resources/readings. The quizzes were intuitive and matched the content.

Application-wise, the assignments where you write your own thoughts were effective, though I noticed not all students gave detailed answers. Take advantage of every assignment and you'll get a good learning experience.

A little over 3 hours for each week and there are 4 weeks in total (for me it took 1 week). About 15 hours in total including job searching as part of a couple of the exercises.

This course was great. I loved the content, although in the first 2 weeks there were repeated information but in general it was JUST WHAT I NEEDED to manage the project I was working on.

The amount of content was just right. There were videos where google employees spoke about project management which were one of my favourite parts, it was a good break.

The quizzes were perfect and I love the correcting criteria.

I totally recommend it. You will have so much fun learning.

I am so excited to start course 2 of the program.

The Foundations of Project Management course by Google provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental skills, roles, and career paths in project management. The course covers various aspects of project management, such as the project lifecycle, different approaches to managing projects (e.g., Agile, Waterfall), stakeholder management, risk identification and mitigation, and the importance of understanding organizational culture and structure.

Excellent course. Really enjoyed the content from start to finish. I initially had thought it would take me about three weeks to finish as I'm doing two other certificate programs as well plus working as a freelancer and studying for graduate school exams but I ended up finishing it in only a week as the material was so enjoyable I decided to put aside more time and finish it a lot quicker. Looking forward to course two and beyond!

I managed to complete this in about a week. The class structure is very well thought out and I love how it is. There are short videos along with short reading lessons. The quizzes are also short. I find it works best, for me, to take about a week's worth of courses a day. Any more than that and I start losing focus and start failing the quizzes, so don't overdo yourself. The instructor and guests are amazing. Great job!

Exceptionally desifgned and delivered program that open doors to possibilities in project management. Difficulty level phases are well designed and concepts are well scaffolded as they gradually allowed the learner to experience progressive learning.

An opportunity for improvement exists at times, in how questions are structured and anwers are articulated.Overall - excellent and highly recommend for beginners to PM

Overall, the intro is well balanced and informative. I feel like I have the required knowledge to proceed to course #2. My only criticism would be that some of the test questions were worded poorly, in that it was difficult to understand the question. It would be awesome if there was a way to click on the question for an alternative wording or a more in depth explanation. Thank you so much for these courses!

This course has been a rush for me. I've loved every minute of it, and I've learned so much! I started this journey with almost no knowlege about project management, neither I knew if it would be of any interest for me. Now I find myself ansious to keep going and learn more! The course is impecable, the teachers are amazing, it's full of useful infographics and the challenges are fun! Totally recomended!

The course is informative, easy to navigate, the videos and the real-stories are a pleasure to watch. The quizzes helped review what part of the material should be re-watched or read again. Discussion forums help connect with other people and read insights from others. The glossary comes in handy as well for definitions. Thanks a lot for all the hard work that was put behind building this amazing course!

Easy to understand, but packed with really valuable information, especially if you have any background in management. As an outsource manager, I've been looking for ways to broaden my professional horizons, and project management correlates nicely with outsource management. So far, I have began to piece together the overlap of these 2 career paths, and I'm excited to learn more and apply this knowledge.
