Projeto final: Aplicação do gerenciamento de projetos no mundo real
Neste curso de projeto final do Certificado de Gerenciamento de Projetos do Google, você praticará aplicar os conhecimentos e habilidades de gerenciamento de projetos que você aprendeu até agora. Incentivamos os alunos a concluírem os cursos 1 a 5 antes de começar o curso final, já que eles dão as bases necessárias para realizar as atividades deste curso. Conforme você avança neste curso, você “observará” um gerente de projeto em um cenário real e fará dezenas de atividades práticas. Você deverá: - analisar os documentos do projeto para identificar os requisitos do projeto e avaliar as partes interessadas - concluir o termo de abertura do projeto e usá-lo como uma ferramenta para alinhar o escopo e os objetivos entre as partes interessadas - identificar tarefas e marcos, documentando e classificando-os por ordem de prioridade no planejamento do projeto - definir padrões de gerenciamento da qualidade e explorar como compartilhar dados qualitativos de maneira eficaz - demonstrar o impacto do projeto usando relatórios eficientes Ao final deste curso, você terá desenvolvido um portfólio de artefatos de gerenciamento de projetos que demonstrará as habilidades aprendidas ao longo de todo o programa, como sua habilidade de gerenciar partes interessadas e equipes, organizar planejamentos e comunicar detalhes do projeto. Esses artefatos podem mostrar seu preparo profissional ao se candidatar a vagas na área. Para se preparar ainda mais para entrevistas de trabalho em gerenciamento de projetos, você refletirá sobre projetos anteriores, desenvolverá um “discurso de elevador” e preverá perguntas comuns de entrevistas. Os gerentes de projeto atuais do Google continuarão a instruir e oferecer estratégias, ferramentas e recursos para alcançar seus objetivos. Depois de concluir este programa, você estará preparado para se candidatar a empregos de nível inicial como gerente de projeto. Você também terá a oportunidade de pedir um emblema de certificação de conclusão que será reconhecido pelos empregadores.

Linear Algebra: Matrix Algebra, Determinants, & Eigenvectors
This course is the second course in the Linear Algebra Specialization. In this course, we continue to develop the techniques and theory to study matrices as special linear transformations (functions) on vectors. In particular, we develop techniques to manipulate matrices algebraically. This will allow us to better analyze and solve systems of linear equations. Furthermore, the definitions and theorems presented in the course allow use to identify the properties of an invertible matrix, identify relevant subspaces in R^n, We then focus on the geometry of the matrix transformation by studying the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices. These numbers are useful for both pure and applied concepts in mathematics, data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and dynamical systems. We will see an application of Markov Chains and the Google PageRank Algorithm at the end of the course.

Planning: Principled, Proposing, Proofing, and Practicing to a Success Plan
According to Steven Blank a business startup, or any new venture startup is essentially a proto-type. Thus the startup process essentially becomes a learning process to refine that business proto-type into a scalable, replicable finished 'product'. At the end of this course learners will be able to: -complete a business model summarizing assumptions about what value they will offer to whom, and how they will make money. - systematically test and validate these assumptions within the constraints of their available resources, and - use these validated assumptions to generate financial projections that are based on actual resources and efforts expended. The days of the 40 page business plan have certainly passed, but the role of planning in the business creation process is one of extreme importance. In this course we will explore the important components that you need to explore in detail prior to business creation. Action without planning is a recipe for disaster and we will make sure you have a rock solid foundation for future actions. The planning here is focused on learning. It is unrealistic for anyone to document in detail all of the actions they should take to make a new venture or activity successful when they (and often no one else) has any experience with the new venture and the conditions which it is likely to face. Thus the business plan based largely on assumptions and aggregate, non-applicable data is replaced with the business model which organizes the key assumptions determining what value the business will offer to whom, and how it will make money. The course will guide learners through the process of systematically testing and validating these assumptions, and obtaining specific, applicable data. It will then show learners how to use these validated assumptions to generate pro-forma financial statements directly tied to actions and resources based on this business model.

Nützliches Feedback geben (Giving Helpful Feedback)
Dieser Kurs vermittelt Ihnen die einfachen Prinzipien, mit denen Führungskräfte die Leistung ihrer Mitarbeiter verbessern und sie gleichzeitig motivieren. Von jetzt an müssen Sie Situationen, in denen Sie Ihren Mitarbeitern „unangenehme Nachrichten“ überbringen, nicht mehr meiden. Wir zeigen Ihnen sieben Methoden, mit deren Hilfe Ihre Mitarbeiter weder eine Abwehrhaltung einnehmen noch Angst bekommen. Als Führungskraft oder jemand, der gerne eine sein möchte, lernen Sie auch speziell, was Feedback ist und warum negatives Feedback schwerer wiegt als positives Feedback. Außerdem erfahren Sie, wie positives Feedback Eigenschaften wie Kreativität und Teamwork fördert. Feedback zu geben, ist eine Fähigkeit, die sich im Laufe der Zeit entwickelt. Wir geben Ihnen einen Prozess an die Hand, mit dem Sie Ihre Fähigkeit, Feedback zu geben, verbessern und mit Zuversicht umsetzen können. Sie werden sehen, dass es für Ihre Beobachtungen und Ihr Gespür für Feedback eine wissenschaftliche Erklärung gibt. So zum Beispiel, dass es schwierig ist, nützliches Feedback zu geben, und dass Menschen nicht gerne Feedback erhalten usw. Dies hilft Ihnen dabei zu lernen, diese Schwierigkeiten zu überwinden. Wir hoffen, dass Sie Spaß daran haben, eine bessere Führungskraft zu werden.
