If only life were so easy then a roadmap or checklist would solve everything. Experience is critical. Knowing what works is useful but more importantly knowing what doesn't work is essential. Focus on solving the issues and not on welcoming good news. Start small. Do you have personal programming projects? Did you _project manage_ them? No? Then start by critically managing your own work. Stand back and introspect. Do you want to manage any type of project or are you targeting technical projects, client projects, web projects? There will inevitably be a mixture so you need to understand that. Don't trust anyone. Keep asking for justifications and proof. Remind everyone about the different responsibilities that are present in any project and be specific about each individual's responsibilities. What are you waiting for?!
