About the Course

Project Management: Foundations and Initiation provides students the foundational knowledge of how engineering projects are managed and initiated. Project managers are responsible for project scope, stakeholder management, effective communication, and team leadership. In this course, you will develop introductory skills needed to manage traditional engineering projects, along with tools needed to engage stakeholders and build diverse teams. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (ME-EM) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The ME-EM is designed to help engineers, scientists, and technical professionals move into leadership and management roles in the engineering and technical sectors. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the ME-EM is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience.

This a great start for proffesionals aspiring to lead not only projects but teams as well. It provides clear and solid foundations in project management, using up to date data from excellent sources.

Points positifs : - Excellente introduction à la gestion de projet, avec de nombreux exemples concrets et des lectures intéressantes. - Le contenu est pertinent non seulement pour les ingénieurs, mais aussi pour toute personne souhaitant découvrir les bases de la gestion de projet. - Un certificat est délivré à la fin du cours Points négatifs : - Les exercices proposés sont assez basiques : ils reposent souvent sur la mémorisation de termes précis plutôt que sur la compréhension réelle des concepts. - Le cours s'appuie largement sur des vidéos YouTube. Même si les sources sont bien sélectionnées, cela nuit à la crédibilité du cours, surtout venant d'une université. Cela pose également question sur la valeur ajoutée d’un contenu majoritairement accessible gratuitement, alors qu’on paie pour le suivre. Pour cette raison en particulier, malgré la pertinence du contenu, je ne peux pas attribuer plus de 3 étoiles.

Likes: Easy course to follow, good for audio learners info is verry well-structured in the videos, easy to follow i liked the quizzes, they are interactive, short and a good recap Dislikes: some of the links are blocked due to company internet restrictions. did not appreciate the number of articles and materials added to the reading sessions

Easy to follow course. Good venue to learn about project management. The lecture though is repetitive. The main points in each lecture keep getting repeated over and over under multiple narrative and videos, and I don't get the point of watching other people's youtube video. Why can't the professor craft a more detailed lecture and slides?

El curso se encuentra un poco desactualizado haciendo referencia a artículos de 2022. Además la calidad de video e imagen es bastante mala teniendo en cuenta el avance en materia tecnologíca de estos tiempos. Existen numerosos vínculos de lectura soporte que son largos, poco procesados y tediosos de leer. Podría diseñarse un sistema de lectura mas interactivo como el utilizado en el Contenido del curso de Project Management de Google. Sin embargo, la transmisión de información fue clara y util para conocer los principios del Project Management.
