I don't think it matters if they all do - it's a question of should you have one, or does the PM you're interested in hiring have one.\n\nIn either case, just because you have a qualification/certification, doesn't mean you're any good as a project manager, but it should mean you have a basic understanding of the tools and techniques involved, and you are familiar with project management terminology etc.

quality assurance can be applied to anything, plant, company tools, equipment, etc.    Just creat some limits and quidelines for each, thats a start. ie: office chairs, must have 5 legs or tables must be black or your product that you put out must meet written quailty (no bad spelling)...not sure of what it is you want tho

This is a very interesting subject and can be thought using a 5 point program where you outline the major steps of a project life cycle. Then dwell into each phase giving the most importance to project planning. Give practical exercises that involve developing a project plan for a hypothetical software project that involves schedule, budget and resource constraints. Ask students to put together a contingency plan and risk assessment. How are they going to assure the quality, make sure that customer requirements are met? ask them to develop work breakdown structures and task breakdown structures.

Take into consideration:\n1) Project Management (Define project (justifications) and criterias (milestones), determine the budget (cost to upgrade new machines or buy new ones, etc.), no. of manpower requirement, defining deadlines for milestones); \n2) Post-Support (after implementing, in case system crashed or have problems);\n3) Training (for staff after implementing on how to use the new system).

Software testing is where you will have the test cases and scripts to you will follow them to verify if software is working as intended.\n\nBut Software Quality Assurance is the whole testing process right from What do we need for testing? How many people do we need? What environment do we need? It also includes the development of Test Plan, Test Cases , Scripts and all other documents.\n\nSoftware testing is a subset of SQA. I hope this is clear for you.

For the "beginner" project manager I recommend Project Management for Dummies.  It's inexpensive, easy to read, and contains step-by-step instructions.\n\nFor a more advanced read there's always Kerzner's Project Management -  A Systems Approach.  This is an industry standard - more expensive, and aimed more at project management in medium/large organizations.\n\nFor best practices you may want to review PMI's Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) but this is not a how-to book.  More a list of things that you should be doing.

Regardless of topic or size, one of the first steps to a successful project is breaking down the work to be done into manageable chunks.  Official terminology calls this decomposing the project.  It involves taking the scope, resources and time, putting them into a work breakdown structure (WBS) and creating a project plan.\n\nThere are tons of resources on the topic of project management on the web.  A few great starting points are the links below.  Of course, a search engine, can help you with specific problems.

Learn about project managment. It helps with all of the other parts of IT i.e. Business analysis, process mapping etc. It will also help you move in to management if you so wish. Wish I had learned about it sooner. Good luck.
