The theoretical part presents basic information on project management, focusing on the origins and processes of project management, the project life cycle or iron triangle. It also discusses project typologies, project management models and the role of PM in agile and traditional environments. It concludes with a look at the possibilities of project tools and methodologies (certifications). The practical part contains two perspectives. The first perspective is analysed from the position of several respondents who have already worked in the IT project management in development. The second focuses on employers and their preferences for this position. Several job portals that offer positions in this field were selected for analysis. From these portals, suitable job openings were then selected and then categorized according to the selected aspects. Based on qualitative interviews, a link was then sought between what the employers indicated in their requirements and what helped the respondents in entering project management.
