About the Course

This is the first course in the Google Advanced Data Analytics Certificate, which will help develop the skills needed to apply for more advanced data professional roles, such as an entry-level data scientist or advanced-level data analyst.

Google employees who currently work in the field will guide you through this course by providing hands-on activities that simulate relevant tasks, sharing examples from their day-to-day work, and helping you enhance your data analytics skills to prepare for your career. Learners who complete the eight courses in this program will have the skills needed to apply for data science and advanced data analytics jobs.

I believe a focus on the planning phase should come after getting familiar with the technical parts, as I feel like that is context you are missing to fully understand how to plan a data project.
