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.
