You just get named Project Manager ?
Well, thats a good news right ? Your position is much better now, you have team to lead and why not, your salary get a bit or substantially higher. That´s a good thing right. Many people working in different areas dream to advance in their careers and in software development companies this is the next level after a team leader in most of the cases. How do you get here ? I don´t think that someone can say that is an easy path and are many ways to get here. One of them, I think I can say the most common one, is to act like a programmer, getting experience and after a few years you can get here. Other guys just jump in after they finish the school take some courses (expensive ones) and found a a good job where they can act.
Whatever your path was I will try in my next posts to tell you how to prepare for your new project manager function. However, before going and reading please keep in mind that again, everything I will write down here is based on my own experience and please do not expect to found here some miraculous methods or tools.
