Are you looking for tips on how to pass the Google Project Management Certificate ? I completed the 6 courses in a week (what a week that was!).

I don’t remember the last time I was so stressed as I was working full-time at the same time, but I did it, and you can too.

In this article, I’ll share my top tips for working out the answers to the graded quizzes, how to plan your time and how to get the certificate for the lowest possible cost (not free, but very cheap).

My experience with the Google Project Management Professional Certificate

I completed the course requirements in a week. I signed up for the Foundations course and completed that on Day 1, and then on Day 7 I had all the peer reviews back for the Capstone and got confirmation that I had passed the certificate.

The week was incredibly busy and I didn’t do much else aside from work through the course materials and complete assignments (outside of the hours I was actually doing my day job).

Google Project Management Certificate

A solid, professional, well-recognized project management course from a great training provider. Perfect for beginners and people interested in learning more about project management as a career.

How I did it so quickly

I have 20+ years experience in project management, so I am definitely not a beginner. The Foundations module, for example, was really easy for me, and I whizzed through that. The more experience you have working in a project environment, the easier it will be for you.

The less experience you have, the more time you’ll have to spend as all the concepts will be new to you. I spent most time on the Agile module (because I’m not an Agile PM) and the Capstone (because you HAVE to do all the work on that one). The courses on Project Execution and Project Initiation were straightforward for me as that’s my day job.

I worked on all the courses at the same time, pretty much, after I completed the Foundations.

If you have some experience…

If you have project management experience, don’t watch the videos. Scan the transcript instead. Skip any topics you know well and go straight for the quiz. If you pass the quiz, assume you have enough knowledge to miss that topic and save yourself time.

How I did it so cheaply

Coursera works on a subscription model for the Google Project Management certificate, so you have to sign up to take the courses. However, you can audit these courses for free.

First, I signed up to audit the courses. Then I had a good look around the course materials for free. You can watch the videos, review the readings and download the templates without paying anything.

That gave me a good indication that I wouldn’t have to spend the recommended 6 months on the course, and that I could indeed do it quickly (and therefore cheaply).

You only have to sign up as a student and start paying when you commit to earning the certificate for real, as you have to be subscribed to be able to submit graded assignments and quizzes, and peer-reviewed assignments.

Pro tips to save money

Sign up to audit the course first, and then convert to a paid student when you are sure you have the time to commit to doing the assessed work. If you are offered a free trial, you can also take that and do as much of the course as possible in the free trial period.

Tips for passing the Google Project Management Certificate

So what did I learn from the experience? And what tips do I have for you if you want to earn the certificate as cheaply and quickly as possible? Read on…

1. Make a tracker

There are 6 courses to do in the Google certificate. The easiest is the Foundation, which has no peer-reviewed assignments. The hardest is (unsurprisingly) the Capstone. Each course has multiple modules.

Because of the speed I was going through the materials, I needed a tracker. I just wrote out a list of the courses and modules and made a note of what still needed to be done on them. It kept me focused on what was missing, what assignments I needed to submit (or resubmit) and made it easy to go straight to what needed doing when I had a spare moment.

2. Submit on or before the deadline

Each assignment and graded quiz comes with a deadline.

The deadlines are auto-calculated by the looks of it, from the Coursera platform. I first thought they were there simply to help you pace yourself and make sure you didn’t give up on the material.

However, there is some small print I read that said if you submit a peer-reviewed assignment after the deadline you might need more than one peer to review it. If you submit on the deadline, you only need one reviewer.

Don’t wait for extra reviews: submit on time so you aren’t reliant on other people.

3. Note your correct answers on quizzes

You might fail a quiz (I certainly did) but that doesn’t mean you got all the questions wrong. Some quizzes keep the same set of questions when you do them again, so note down the answers you did get right.

Also note down which answers were wrong. The tests are all multiple choice so you don’t want to select the wrong answer again.

When you take the quiz again, use your notes to make sure you don’t accidentally get an answer wrong again, and put in the correct answers.

4. Use the search

Timed quizzes can be stressful, but you get 50ish minutes per quiz which is a lot of time to answer 10 questions.

If you can’t work out an answer, use the search feature. Copy/paste one of the answer responses or a key word from the question into the search bar. Use a new window or tab, not the one your test is open in.

Then review the search results. You’ll often find that the answer to the question is in the course material (I mean, why wouldn’t it be??). Then you can confidently choose the right answer.

5. Watch the videos on 1.5x speed

Watch the videos on fast speed. As long as you can still understand the tutors, you’ll be fine. This will help you get through the material more quickly.

6. Do the courses in any order

Do you have to take the Google Project Management certificate courses in order? No, absolutely not. I would suggest you leave the Capstone until the end, but any of the others you can do in any order.

I did them all pretty much in parallel, leaving the Capstone until last.

7. Don’t review the job seeking content unless you are job seeking

I know this is going to sound obvious, but if you aren’t currently looking for a job, skip all the sections on job hunting, interview prep and resumes/CVs.

You can also skip the Googlers telling stories about their career paths. They are interesting, but they aren’t crucial to being able to apply the knowledge. If you have loads of time, by all means watch them, but if you are speeding through the content, you can skip them comfortably.

Tips for the Google Project Management peer-reviewed assignments

Most of the courses have peer-graded assignments. For example, you have to complete a project charter, a risk document, a presentation to executives, write sample emails etc.

The example project is Plant Pals (the Capstone project is Sauce & Spoon), and actually it’s quite fun to work through creating project documents. The case study is realistic and well-put together, you will definitely find it useful if you have not worked on a project end-to-end before.

Here are some tips for acing your peer-reviewed assignments.

1. Make sure your file is publicly accessible

You have to review other people’s work as well as submit your own, and overall, the quality of the files submitted was poor. There were quite a few that I couldn’t even access because the Google Docs permission was not set to ‘Sharing’.

Make sure people can access your file!

2. Load the right file

You are given student documents to review, and there were several I was given where I had to flag that they had loaded the wrong file. One was even a promo leaflet for some guy’s training courses. Some people loaded the blank template.

Don’t waste your time (or other people’s) by loading the wrong documents. Come up with a naming convention for all the files you will create and then upload the correct version.

I made this mistake once myself. There are two exercises where you have to write emails and I uploaded the wrong email file for an assignment. Believe me, when people score your assignment as 0/10 and you fail, it really stings!

3. Read the submission criteria

Each peer-reviewed assignment where you have submit a file has two tabs. One tab is your instructions, the next is the upload screen where you share your file so it can be reviewed.

On the upload screen you will see submission criteria. This is basically a list of what the reviewer will be looking for.

Read this before you spend time creating your file so you know exactly how you will be graded and what you need to include in the project documentation.

4. Remember to review other people’s assignments

You won’t be marked as ‘complete’ unless you have reviewed other people’s assignments as well as submitted your own and had that reviewed.

It doesn’t take long to look over someone else’s document, especially as you have just written one on exactly the same template. You will be given a marking scheme so you know exactly how to assign marks.

Put some time aside as soon as you have submitted your assignment and just get through them. You’ll know when you have done enough as it will invite you to review more, but you are not obligated to.

5. Keep them short

It’s tempting to write loads and loads in the project charter or other documents, but you really don’t have to. Stick with a few bullet points that cover the key content.

In real life you might want to add more context and more words, but generally short is good. There are only certain things that will be graded anyway, so any text you put in additional boxes is not going to score you extra.

That’s not to say you shouldn’t do a good job, especially if you are hoping to get the practice of putting together project documentation – useful if you want to become a project manager . But if you want to get through the course fast, do the minimum required and don’t gold plate your assignments.

Tips for the Google Project Management Capstone Project

The Capstone course (Applying Project Management in the Real World) is the Sauce & Spoon case study, which is a fun project about rolling out a new system for a group of restaurants. It feels timely and relevant, with a cast of characters you’ll come to feel like you know.

You are the project manager, and the goal is to shepherd the project through from idea to delivery – which of course you manage to do just fine.

Here are some examples of the Google Project Management Capstone assignments:

  • Create a project charter
  • Draft emails
  • Identify project tasks and put them in order with milestones
  • Identify and create time estimates for a project plan
  • Identify quality criteria and establish how these will be measured
  • Create a presentation to share project results
  • Draft an executive summary

The Capstone also includes a section on preparing for an interview , which you don’t have to do.

Here are some tips to stay on top of the Capstone.

1. Pace yourself

It was a lot more work than I was expecting. There are 8 peer reviewed assignments which equals 8 documents to create, submit, and then review someone else’s submission.

Given that I am an experienced project manager who had breezed through the other content, I figured I would also find it easy.

It wasn’t hard (for me), but you can’t skip sections . It is time-consuming so make sure you have time put aside.

2. Do the ungraded assignments

I thought I would save myself time and skip the assignments that are ungraded, focusing instead on the peer-graded projects instead.

I quickly found that you can’t do that. You open a peer-reviewed assignment brief and it says, “Take the project charter you created earlier…” and if you haven’t created one earlier you have to go back and do it from scratch.

You need to work through all the activities, even the ungraded ones. There is important case study information and ground work that you cannot skip.

3. Don’t stress about people being available to review

I was really worried that no one would be online or available to review my assignments. What if no one else was studying at that time? What if I was the only one in the whole world completing the Capstone and I’d have to wait for someone new to enroll so they could mark my work?

All those worries were completely unfounded. There are plenty of people going through the same experience. I was reviewing papers uploaded just that day, and people were reviewing mine within hours.

The longest I had to wait was about 18 hours. I went to bed worried no one would see my paper and in the morning it had been graded.

4. Look for the Capstone answers

All the answers are in the case study. You don’t have to make anything up (although you can embellish if you want). Just read the materials carefully and write down what you learn.

You don’t even have to infer or deduce. I think every answer and expectation is there in black and white on the screen. For example, success criteria and KPIs, they are written in the case study materials.

I’ve never had a project meeting in real life where a sponsor has said, “We’re looking to improve turnaround time by 5% and reduce customer waiting time by 30 minutes.” But the Sauce & Spoon stakeholders are very switched on and articulate! In real life, expect to have to gently coax senior managers to come up with numbers they can be held accountable to!

5. Do the work

I wonder how many people start the 6 certificate courses and then get to the Capstone and think, “Whoa, that’s a lot of work.” And then drop out.

Don’t let that be you. You can do it. There is no time limit on taking the course, and if you show up and do the work, you will pass.

The Capstone is a lot more work than any of the other courses. I think there are only 5 peer-reviewed assignments in the whole of the rest of the course, and while that gets you used to the process and the expectation, the Capstone takes it to a whole new level.

That’s the point, after all. They want you to feel confident and to ‘see’ a project from start to finish.

Before you go…

You can definitely pass the Google Project Management Certificate, I have no doubt. There are no tutor-assessed assignments. You can take the graded quizzes as many times as you like (within the system constraints) and if you plod through the work, you can do it!

You earn a Credly badge at the end of it, which makes it all worthwhile.

I did have a stressful week, so I wouldn’t recommend doing what I did and cramming the course, but I do think the course was good and worthwhile. Read my full review of the Google Project Management Certificate .

If you have read this because you are considering signing up, I’d recommend it. If you’ve got to the end of the article because you’re halfway through the course and need the motivation to keep going… keep going!! You’ve got this!

What is a capstone project?

The capstone project has become an integral part of the university degree curriculum. It can take many various forms, but its purpose remains the same. The capstone project is a unique opportunity to carry out independent group research in order to devise an innovative solution for a real-world problem. While a project of this scope and scale can be challenging, it can also be very rewarding.

The capstone project is usually the final assignment and plays a vital role in preparing students for the world of work thanks to its practical applications and ability to help hone students’ professional knowledge and skills.

At York University in Toronto, Canada, things are a little different. In 2019, the university revised the traditional capstone project and created C4: Cross-Campus Capstone Classroom . While it still possesses the fundamentals of the traditional capstone project, C4 is a new, year-long initiative that brings students together from various degree programmes to work in interdisciplinary teams with faculty and project partners on real-world challenges pitched by non-profit organisations, start-ups and businesses to create social impact. 

TopUniversities spoke to Megan Tran and Javeria Mirza, two students at York University, to find out about their capstone project and why they feel it has played an important role in not just their academic development, but their professional development as well.

What is the Purpose of a Capstone Project?

The capstone project is designed to consolidate final-year students’ learning with valuable hands-on experience to help develop them into well-prepared and well-rounded graduates.

Students work together in small groups to come up with innovative solutions for real-life problems, all while gaining valuable insights into the demands and responsibilities of the working world. This gives students a chance to bring their leadership and management skills alive and understand the consequences of their decisions in a ‘safe space’.

C4 gives students an insight into global affairs, international relations as well as social corporate responsibility and sustainability. 

Final-year bachelor’s in international studies student Megan and master’s in political science student Javeria were two of the eight interdisciplinary students, from the Faculty of Environmental Studies, the Lassonde School of Engineering, Glendon College, and the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies at York University who worked together on the ‘Solar Floatie’ project.

“As a group, we were all interested in using technology and design-thinking for good. Our collective passion for social impact brought us together as a team. CooperLab at York University led by Professor Thomas Cooper was already spearheading the idea of an inflatable solar collector,” said Javeria.

“But how we went about developing the technology and what we wanted to use it for was up to us,” added Megan.

“ The Solar Floatie was born when the engineering side of the solar collector project was merged with the anthropology side and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) framework to propose a sustainable implementation model,” explained Javeria.

Undertaking a capstone project demonstrates to prospective employers that you’re more than just a potential candidate with the necessary academic qualifications. It shows your dedication to an issue which demands time and effort, as well as strict professionalism, work ethic and experience working in a practical, hands-on setting.

As a graduate, the reality of securing a job can be difficult as many roles demand practical experience. Many graduates are conceptually strong and suitable candidates, but a lack of applied knowledge in practical settings can make it challenging to demonstrate such experience and skills on their CV or in an interview.

The capstone project is a great solution and is something which both Megan and Javeria felt helped bridge that critical gap and has given them a competitive advantage as young professionals.

“It gave me an opportunity to learn outside a traditional academic setting and allowed me to explore my interest in sustainability and passion for social impact,” said Megan. “Since being a part of this project, I’ve been involved with a variety of organisations carrying out work that align with these passions.”

Javeria echoes Megan’s sentiments.

She said: “Bridging the lessons learnt during the capstone project such as the value of continuously learning, taking initiative, and working effectively with people from diverse disciplinary backgrounds has been invaluable in both my UN work and my graduate studies.”

The capstone project encompasses a real-life working culture which aims to instil a set of specific skills that are both highly valued by employers and will ultimately serve students well into their careers.

York University’s C4 focuses on the development of a wide range of skills, including creative, critical, and strategic thinking, effective communication, teamwork, problem solving and research analysis through diverse learning approaches and perspectives. Students deepen their sense of social and ethical responsibilities as they learn to mobilise their knowledge across disciplines and work effectively in interdisciplinary teams while engaging professionally with their peers and professors.

What Is A Capstone Project? Capstone Project vs. Capstone Course

Completing a capstone project marks a significant milestone in a student’s academic journey, signifying the culmination of years of learning and exploration. But what is a capstone project?

This article delves into the essence of capstone projects and how they differ from capstone courses, offering insights into their unique roles within academic programs.

We’ll explore the objectives, structure, and expectations of each, and see how they contribute to a student’s educational and professional preparedness.

What Is A Capstone Project?

The capstone project is the pinnacle of your learning experience, usually a final project that stands between you and graduation.

What Is A Capstone Project

The capstone project isn’t just any assignment; it’s a multifaceted endeavour that synthesises your knowledge and skills, challenging you to apply everything you’ve learned in a real-world scenario.

Capstone projects vary widely, from research papers in the social sciences to creative works in the arts.

They might take the form of a group project, fostering teamwork and project management, or an individual research project that requires deep diving into a topic of interest. 

This culminating project is designed to push you to:

  • think critically,
  • conduct research,
  • solve problems, and
  • present your findings in a coherent, polished manner.

It’s an opportunity to demonstrate not just to your professors but to potential employers the depth of your understanding and your readiness for the professional world.

For many, completing a capstone feels like steering a massive project course, from selecting a capstone topic and conducting a literature review to the final presentation.

It’s project planning and execution, encapsulated in one comprehensive piece of work that epitomizes your academic and professional capabilities.

The capstone experience varies from school to school, but its essence remains the same: it’s the ultimate test of your ability to collect and analyze data , document and reflect on your findings, and articulate your insights.

It’s not just about what you’ve learned; it’s about how you apply that learning in a way that’s meaningful and impactful.

What Are The Types Of Capstone Projects?

Capstone projects can come in various forms, each designed to challenge students and prepare them for the complexities of real-world problems. Here’s a couple of popular ones:

Traditional Research, Capstone Papers

Some students might delve into traditional research papers or thesis , where months are spent:

  • investigating a topic,
  • conducting research, and
  • presenting findings in a detailed, well-argued document.

This type of capstone hones research skills and demonstrates a student’s ability to engage deeply with a subject.

Multimedia Presentations

On the more creative side, capstones can take the form of multimedia presentations, where students communicate their findings by blending:

This format not only showcases research and analytical skills but also creativity and technical prowess, often leaving a lasting impression on both academic evaluators and potential employers.

Industrial Internship

For those inclined towards practical experience, an internship-based capstone allows students to apply their classroom knowledge in a real-world setting. 

Here, the project culminates in a comprehensive report that:

  • reflects on the internship experience,
  • lessons learned, and
  • the application of academic theories in real-world scenarios.

Group Projects

Group projects present another facet of capstone experiences, emphasizing:

  • project management, and
  • collaborative problem-solving.

These projects require students to work together, often across disciplines, to tackle complex problems, mirroring the collaborative nature of most professional environments.

Creating Prototypes Or Real-World Solutions

Engineering and technology students may embark on design or development projects, creating prototypes or software solutions. These projects demand a blend of:

  • technical skill,
  • creativity, and
  • rigorous testing.

The project usually culminates in a presentation that not only demonstrates the final product but also the thought process and methodologies behind it.

What Is A Capstone Project

Social sciences and humanities students might engage in capstone experiences that not only contribute to academic knowledge but also have the potential to impact communities positively.

These could include:

  • interviews, or
  • community engagement.

No matter the type, capstone projects require students to think critically, conduct research, solve problems, and communicate their findings effectively.

They serve as a multifaceted showcase of a student’s ability to take what they’ve learned and apply it in a way that is both meaningful and impactful.

What Is A Capstone Course?

A capstone course stands as the grand finale of an academic program, designed to encapsulate the entirety of a student’s learning journey within their degree program.

It’s more than just a class; it’s a comprehensive experience that requires students to integrate knowledge and skills they’ve accumulated over their senior year or final year of study.

The capstone course is where theory meets practice, pushing students to apply what they’ve learned in real-world or simulated professional scenarios.

The course typically involves a capstone project, which is the centerpiece of this academic undertaking. However, the course itself encompasses more than just completing a project. It includes a series of:

  • workshops, and
  • sometimes seminars

that aim to prepare students for their culminating project. These sessions might cover:

  • project management,
  • research methodologies,
  • public speaking, and
  • other relevant topics.

to ensure students are well-equipped to tackle their projects.

Capstone projects within these courses can be diverse, ranging from research papers in the social sciences to engineering prototypes, multimedia presentations, or even internships that culminate in a reflective report.

These projects often require interdisciplinary effort, encouraging students to think critically, conduct research, and problem-solve.

The distinction between a capstone course and a capstone project are:

  • Capstone Course:  provides the structured educational framework and support system for the capstone experience.
  • Capstone Project: the individual or group endeavor that results from this period of intensive study.

Together, they serve as a testament to a student’s ability to take their learned theoretical knowledge and apply it in a practical, often innovative way.

Capstone courses and projects are not only about academic achievement but also about preparing students for the workforce.

They allow students to demonstrate their readiness to potential employers through practical applications of their studies, showcasing their ability to tackle complex problems and present viable solutions.

This unique blend of academic rigor and practical application marks the capstone experience as a pivotal moment in a student’s academic and professional development.

Do All Degree Programs Usually Require Capstones?

Not every academic journey ends with a capstone project. While many degree programs, especially at the undergraduate and graduate levels, incorporate capstones as a culminating experience, they are not a universal requirement.

what is capstone project coursera

The inclusion of a capstone project often depends on the educational philosophy of the institution and the specific objectives of the degree program.

In fields like engineering, business, and the social sciences, capstone projects are common.

They serve as a bridge between academic study and real-world application, requiring students to synthesise their knowledge and skills in a practical project. 

However, some programs might emphasize other forms of assessment, especially in more traditional academic disciplines. These include:

  • comprehensive exams,
  • thesis papers, or
  • final exams.

In these cases, students demonstrate their mastery of the subject matter through rigorous testing or scholarly research rather than practical projects.

Interdisciplinary programs and those with a strong focus on practical skills, like project management or public speaking, tend to favour capstones for their hands-on approach to learning. 

These programs view capstones as essential in preparing students for the workforce, allowing them to present tangible evidence of their abilities to potential employers.

Tips To Complete A Capstone Project Well

Navigating a capstone project can feel like steering a ship through uncharted waters. It’s the culmination of your academic program, requiring you to apply all the knowledge and skills you’ve amassed. Here are a couple of tips to help you ace your capstone project.

The Right Capstone Topic

Choosing the right capstone topic is crucial. It should be something that not only sparks your interest but is also relevant to your field of study and potential employers.

An engaging topic can make the extensive research and project planning phases more enjoyable and meaningful. A student in social sciences might explore a pressing societal issue, while a business student could develop a market analysis for a startup idea.

Effective Time Management

Capstone projects often take longer than anticipated. Break down the project into manageable tasks with set deadlines. You also need to be disciplined on the work, performing them regularly to tackle it slowly over time.

This approach keeps the project on track and reduces last-minute stress.

Leverage Your Resources

Aside from time and your energy. This includes your:

  • mentors, and

Regular consultations can provide invaluable guidance and new perspectives. For group projects, this means fostering a spirit of teamwork and collaboration, essential skills in any professional setting.

Think Critically & Be Creative

Capstones are designed to challenge you, pushing you to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. This could mean:

  • devising a new business strategy,
  • creating a multimedia presentation, or
  • conducting field research.

Be ready to ride a roller coaster, and roll with the punches when working on your capstone project. You may need to play multiple roles, and be creative with solutions.

Ace The Presentation

Finally, the presentation of your findings is as important as the research itself.

Whether it’s a paper, a multimedia presentation, or a public speaking event, your ability to communicate your findings clearly and persuasively is key.

This is your moment to showcase not just what you’ve learned, but how you can apply this knowledge in a professional context.

What Is A Capstone Project? Explained
