Google Project Management Professional Certificate

This course is a practical, self-paced preparation path covering the core project management skills commonly taught in entry-level professional certificate programs, including initiation, planning, execution, agile approaches, and closing. You will learn the project life cycle, how to scope and charter a project, how to build schedules and budgets, how to manage risk and stakeholders, and how to lead a team through change. You will also learn where agile and traditional (waterfall) approaches each fit, since most real organizations blend both. By the end, you will be able to plan and run a small-to-medium project from kickoff to closure, communicate clearly with stakeholders, and adapt your approach to the type of work in front of you. This is independent preparation content and is not produced by, affiliated with, or administered by Google.
