Project Management Project

Project Management Principles and Practices,

This capstone project is designed to allow you to take the knowledge you have gained through the Specialization and put that knowledge into practice. In the capstone, you will create several of the key planning deliverables that have been discussed in these courses and either work on a project you choose or use a suggested case study. You will begin the capstone project by writing part of the project charter. You will build on that information to define your project, and then ultimately create a schedule, budget and responses for the risks you identify. The goal is for you to use what you have learned in the previous courses and to perform your own research on how to best move forward with the capstone project. Your work will be peer reviewed by your classmates. In turn you will peer review the work of other classmates. Instructions on how to conduct peer reviews will be included in the course. Upon completing this series, you will be able to (1) write a narrative charter statement, (2) create a work breakdown structure, (3) sequence project activities,(4) build a project schedule, (5) create a project budget, (6) create a responsibility assignment matrix, (7) identify project risks and (8) define responses for those risks. Upon completing this course, you will be able to: 1. Write a narrative charter statement 2. Create a work breakdown structure 3. Sequence project activities 4. Build a project schedule 5. Create a project budget 6. Create a responsibility assignment matrix 7. Identify project risks and define responses for those risks

project management

THAT WAS USEFULL FOR ME Love the assignment that gives us the chance to really practice the necessary elements of project management.

excellent course I did the full specialization for Project Management from UCI.

I made an effort to reach 100% in all the courses, I achieved it in all of them, less in the grades of the students that are not prepared to Qualify, and they damaged my last course and the qualification in the capstone project was terrible and damaged the note In the specialization, I lost the Distinction, They damaged my whole record, for their lack of experience, (they are not to blame, they are not teachers) The course was very Important for me, The economic help in the courses, for my professional preparation, I impulse to investigate, to improve the understanding of the whole real structure of project management according to the parameters established by the PMI and the manual PMBOOK.

It really helps you to grasp the basic concept of PM and helps you to exercise how to plan the simple project by using many basic tools in the Project Management field.

Lots of works Excellent course to cap off the learnings in the three project management courses.

I recommended this specialization to any learner who has a passion about project management and his goal is to be a project manager.Thank you very much.Best regards,Mahmoud NasrCoursera Mentor & Learner This course is the best in the specialization as it gives you the possibility to take action and implement the knowledge which you have learned in previous courses.

I hope to see more courses on Project Management from UC Irvine DCE.

This is great practical experience and a good lead in to Irvine's Project Management Certificate program.

Very well organized.Project covers all aspects of Principles of Project Management certificate.

I really Helpful Excelente curso Very good course where you learn a lot about project management and obtain the 35 hour certification to sit for the PMP exam at a fraction of the costs of other programs.

A Systematic and methodical course to learn about Project Management Principles and Practices.

This is a very good introductory course in project management.

Mind you, by itself it is not enough to pass the PMP exam, but it does give you a basic understanding of project management and how you can apply project management to your job.

I learnt so much with regards to Project managements.

previous courses

This was an excellent course.I had the opportunity to put in practice everything i learn't from the previous courses.

The Capstone Project was a good way to reinforce the concepts learned in the previous courses.

IT was great to have a chance to put what the previous courses taught to practice.

It was a true test of the knowledge acquired in the previous courses of the specialization.

The capstone provides a good opportunity to apply the material from previous courses.

amazing lecturer Great course to tie everything you learn from the previous courses together.

It's just the right amount of work to put into good used everything learned on the previous courses.

peer review

Also, due to a technical glitch, I got no feedback on my final assignment and apparently the 3 peer reviews that I did were not sent to my peers.

Some of the projects which I peer reviewed were so detailed that it felt like real projects.

I am taking another course which as well has peer review, I am rethinking if it's worth it.... do not see any value, there is no real feedback from instructor.

If I need it a peer review, I could just ask my colleagues at work.

Although it was extremely helpful to put my learning into practice and do the work, I found the peer reviews difficult to assess.

For instance, sometimes the WBS did not match with the project activities sequence, but because the rubric/peer review was so broad, as long as the peer put down 10 or more activities, he/she received a perfect score.

I suggest creating a more detailed rubric that helps bring all the information together where those doing the peer review and those creating the documents can see the value of each part of the assignment.

Peer review was particularly helpful in comparitively evaluating your own project and how one can improve their use of these tools.

thank you for the great course Excellent I thought at the beginning, the Project Management Project (Capstone Project) may be no needed..But after spending time and effort, and performing a full exercise, learning different tools and templates and actually taking steps to develop deliverable is a great exercise.Peer review also brought in a great experience and looked at different projects and from different perspective...One thing is , it should be allowed to provide some textual feedback to user.

It can be optional but can be helpfully in peer review a lot.

into practice

An excellent opportunity to put what we'd learned into practice.

Other than that, no complaints, a single peer assessed project to put into practice what you have learned in the other modules of the specialisation.

Getting all the theory into practice was great.
