Project Management in IT industries- What are basic needs?

Dear all,

Myself Aniket. Presently, I am working in Project execution profile with 3 years of experience in boiler ( Power) industry. About my educational background, I have completed Masters degree in Project management and my basic graduation is in Mechanical engineering.
I want to switch into software project management field and looking for ways to apply for it. Please suggest how can I apply for such openings? I have gone through few random Google results for this and it shows an option of ITIL exam or PMP preparation? I thought It would be better to get suggestion from IT experts. Please suggest if there is any option. I am not sure whether ITIL will be really helpful in this. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Aniket.

If you want to do software project management I would do the Certified Scrum Master certification from Scrum Alliance.

Agreed I would review CSM, it's by far the best more comprehensive material I have read that is applicable to app dev project management. Even though there is really no project manager role.
