Thank you for providing this valuable learning resource. I would like to know whether this course offers practical assignments, real-world project case studies, and opportunities to apply project management methodologies. Additionally, are there any free resources available to help learners prepare for the Google Project Management Certificate and develop practical skills in project planning, risk management, Agile methodologies, and project monitoring? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the thoughtful questions, Habibullah. This page brings together free public Grow with Google videos; watching them here does not include a Google Project Management Career Certificate, graded assignments, or instructor feedback. For independent practice, plan a small IT project: write a one-page charter, build a task schedule and risk register, use a task board, and prepare a weekly status update. Which of these would you like a worked example for first?
Thank you for sharing this course. Could you please recommend free, practical resources for learning IT project management, specifically project scheduling using Microsoft Project, task tracking with Jira, risk register development, stakeholder communication, and budget monitoring? I would particularly appreciate resources that include downloadable templates, hands-on exercises, and real-world IT project examples that can help learners apply these skills in professional environments.
Great question, Habibullah. For free video learning, start with Microsoft Project scheduling (https://wikifree.com/courses/free-simplilearn-microsoft-project-scheduling-and-resource-planning/) and Jira project management (https://wikifree.com/courses/free-learn-skills-daily-jira-project-management/). Practise with one sample IT rollout: set a schedule baseline, track tasks on a Jira board, record risks with owners and responses, draft a stakeholder update, and compare planned versus actual costs in a simple spreadsheet. The videos are free to watch; Microsoft Project software access is separate. Which practical template would help you most: risk register, budget tracker, or stakeholder update?
