How do you be a project manager?

Becoming a Project Manager is not easy. A lot of people think that if someone is a good developer he/she would be a good manager as well. Or if someone completes a Management Course he/she would be a good manager.

To be a good manager you need a range of skills and capabilities. They are:

1. Communication

2. Negotiation

3. Problem Solving

4. Influencing

5. Leadership

These skills get developed with practical experience and a lot of common sense. Doing an MBA would be a good point to start and similarly certifications like PMP would also help someone develop and hone their management skills.
