This is the third course in the Google Project Management Certificate program, which focuses on the second phase of the project life cycle: the project planning phase. You will examine the key components of a project plan, how to make accurate time estimates, and how to set milestones. Next, you will learn how to build and manage a budget and how the procurement processes work. Then, you will discover tools that can help you identify and manage different types of risk and how to use a risk management plan to communicate and resolve risks.

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.

I'm giving it a five star because it taught me a lot about project management; starting from budgeting to risk management to effective communication skills. It was a whole lot but it worth it!

These courses provide a great learning experience in which you end up with resources and documents that display your application of the concepts. These are great for interviews or for PM roles.
