You made it! Applying Project Management in the Real World is the sixth and final course in the Google Project Management program. In this capstone course, you will practice applying the project management knowledge and skills you have learned so far. If you haven’t taken Courses 1-5 yet, we highly recommend doing so, as they provide the foundation necessary to complete the activities in this course. As you progress through this course, you will “observe” a project manager in a real-world scenario and complete dozens of hands-on activities. By the end of this course, you will have developed a portfolio of project management artifacts that will demonstrate the skills you have learned throughout the entire program, such as the ability to manage stakeholders and teams, organize plans, and communicate project details. These artifacts can exhibit their career readiness when applying for jobs in the field. To further prepare you to interview for project management jobs, you will reflect on past projects, develop an “elevator pitch,” and anticipate common interview questions.

very comprehensive course with a lot of hands on and assignment to do. I could rate it 5 if the assignment graded by instructors but it get graded by other fellow learner who use wide range metric.
