  Whats the difference between a project manager and an IT manager?
  
  What is the difference between these roles and where is the crossover? Is it possible to be both in particular jobs?
  
  A:
  
  Project manager is doing project management, while IT manager is doing IT Service Management. Two different disciplines. Like mathematics and physics :)

  I would say that we are looking at two different levels here: 
  An IT manager could be a project manager but need not be one - and vice versa. What complicates matters - and insofar the question is a very good one - is that many IT related activities are managed in a project oriented manner. 
  So an IT manager can be a line manager but in many cases will be a project manager and a project manager manages projects - which can be IT related (or not). 
  So both levels are interrelated in many cases.
