I never bothered with the ISEB route as it never factored for me as a BA, but I did get asked for Prince2 experience even as a BA so went and got the practitoner cert. I've since moved on to PM but worked my way up to it and got relevant experience.
But there are quite a few headless chickens out there who are just power mad loons, who stick their head in the sand at the sight of anything going tits up in their projects and blame the whole team.Comment

Most of the PMs I've worked with have been rubbish, some of them dangerously bad and just went around pissing everyone off. A few have been very good, methodical, good at networking and getting to know the right people to get the job done.
I think PM roles are oversubscribed because they pay a fortune and anyone can try and bluff their way into them. With a hard core techie role you can be questioned and it's obvious if you don't have the skills. A good PM is much harder to spot at an interview...Free advice and opinions - refunds are available if you are not 100% satisfied.Comment
