“I do not have the technical skill to become a software development project manager.” You do need to know the software development process, what goes into creating software applications. Once you are surrounded by software engineers, QA, BAs, and so on, you start to learn everything like a sponge.

The primary purpose of software estimation is not to predict a project’s outcome; it is to determine whether a project’s targets are realistic enough to allow the project to be controlled to meet them ? The program management processes should seek to reduce uncertainty in the variable of the project. Steve McConnell.
