Like the first (Initiating and Planning Projects) and second (Budgeting and Scheduling Projects) as part of the Project Management specialization offered by UCI, this was the final course I took before I got the chance to do the Capstone Project. As a relatively new project manager, I have always been worried about the risks and changes of each project that I handle. I tend to forget to do mitigation and contingency plans that's why there were times the projects go beyond scope and my team experienced scope creep. Taking this course taught me a lot and gave me hope that I can still improve as a project manager. I learned different processes (e.g. change control process, risk register, etc.) that should be involved in projects in order for projects to succeed. To UCI and Ms. Meloni, thank you very much for having this course!

Managing project risk is really an interesting topic. I really like how Margaret Meloni shared tips on how to effectively report, manage risk, changes and document lessons learned. The knowledge she imparted was invaluable because she was actually sharing real life experience. The panel interview was also very enlightening and inspiring at the same time. The panelists were top caliber professionals and really knows what they are saying. This course has really taught me a lot and I have actually related some of the concepts in my actual experience too, but there are more things that I've learned which I know will be helpful and applicable to my future project

Great course. Loved the bonus videos/lesson as well as the panelist interview. Thanks a lot for sharing all the insights and pitfalls to avoid. Highly recommend this course/specialization. Awesome course structure that starts with lecture, followed by lesson with more detailed explanations, then case study with optional reading, followed by exercise to reinforce that we practice what we just learned, then quizzes/final exams. Then my favorite part, the bonus video/panelist interview that shares with us the step by step process or pitfalls to avoid.

Good , clear, information and very explicit videos.

Any one planning to move in the direction of a Project Management career, should do this course, Although I would recommend as many persons as possible to do it, because generally it is like a life guide for any area of work, it pushes you to be discipline in your decisions.

I learned many practical and useful tips that enhanced my project management experience. Really enjoyed the course, easy to follow its flow. Sadly, I am disappointed that we can only have access through a link for the readings. I would love to be able to download them in a PDF format in order to review again later or when needed.

This course focused on how to manage risks and emphasizes that change, in general, is not a bad thing. It also presented insights on the importance of taking the time to document the lessons learned for every project

Margaret's teaching style is effortlessly effective and the tenor of the sessions are practice-led, so it's presented as information in action, not theory and pedagogy. This is an outstanding course feature, in my op
