Answer 1

First of all, a project manager is a slightly different job than being a developer. The simplest version of the transition, self-manager. (the term is taken from the Rework book) In this case, you are managing the project and developing a solution; for the employer, this option carries fewer risks because you still perform the duties of a developer, but at the same time you take on the responsibility of a project manager. By doing so, you show that you can perform the tasks of the latter well.

Answer 2

you need to know the PMBOK structure, it’s not necessary to know it yourself, it’s not a standard, but what it is and how to apply it - you need to understand
the tool, MS Project, preferably, and add-ons over Jira / Redmine, if PM is in programming
