The course is great but best for those who are already in the profession.
On a cloudy day experience tells us to carry an umbrella and wear water proof shoes. From prior experience, we learn to take precautions like carrying an umbrella or that normal shoes are not that affected unless there is a heavy rainfall.
So project management in a professional space where investment and return on investment matters, informal learning may drive one to some extent but to see the materialisation of a plan happens when one is performing in the real with real time knowledge.
Doing things intuitively like advertising is not succesful always in the hands of an experienced person or in the hands of an adventurous person. The same tactics don’t work in the same manner for the same people.
In a protected space, one can go without an umbrella but what if water gets logged in some unexpected places like inside the metro station and we did not expect water logging. Has we worn gum boots, people would have laughed at us but in reality we could have been saved our shoes.
So project management from common sense is not enough. We really need to understand maths and real work. Estimates are wrong when we hire the people who work from their guess. However, for non risky investments, it is okay to bank on common sense.
Google teaches project managing with real life examples and it is a good course for both beginners and who are already in their profession.
