After having studied the project management subject as a scholar, I have come to understanding the fact that the culture of functional project management is completely different from the mindset of technical leadership. While technical leads are focusing on application infrustructure and following the software development life cycle, project manager's aim is to achieve the project objective within specific time frame. 90% of project manager's tasks are opening the communication channels and making sure all the stakeholders are involved in the project.

It wasn't bad at all to study project management even if you are a hardcore software engineer. I know most of the application developer do not want to sit in the meeting room while management and HR are trying to explain company objectives, rules and regulation. Those are the kind of hardcore developers who do not want to deal with people and meetings, but only wants you to tell what functionalities you want, what layout and interface you like. They will put earphone on and start working until their brains are exploded. Believe me, I used to work until 6 o'clock in the morning the whole week when I was in Japan. Work ethic in Japan is really strong.

But after ten years being a hardcore programmer, constantly believing that the creating of programming codes is an art form, I've come to the point to realize that I need to slow down my paces and manage my own tasks and schedule. Perhaps, I am getting older. :-)

Project management really helps managing the stressful tasks by breaking down into smaller pieces and boost your ability to do proper documentation, communication skill to response and feedback immediately. It will also give you healthier and smarter working style. Right now, I am popping out to gym for 1 hour during my lunch break and still maintain my work schedule.

Here, I have a collection of references for those who want to study project management subject. It can also be a big help if you are planning to sit PMP certificate exam from PMI.org (Project Management Institute). I was a member of PMI and have a certificate of PMP courses.
