Is Project Management for Developers My Thing?

Managing projects for Software Developers might be my thing. It could be my jam that I didn’t even know is my jam.

I enjoy doing it. I’m assertive and an effective communicator. Almost none of my NSS peers enjoy it — an observation that leads me to think this might be the case in real world. Also, it comes naturally to me.

By it, I mean directing planning, organizing and delegating tasks, setting priorities and milestones, redirecting energy, etc. I can’t say I love that stuff, but it’s easy for me. It’s like catching food in my mouth or doing double unders: I don’t know why I do well at it, but I like that about myself.

I’m no good at organizing food and cookware while cooking some Internet recipe, but I think project management for Software Developers could be my jam. Now, let’s see what company is gonna let me have a try at it *pops knuckles*.
