Hi Shaswat, If you want to master the art of project management you can consult and study how to successfully execute and deliver the projects within Time, Cost and Budget. The successful outcome of the project is the quality of the delivery within time and profitability and the Client happiness index.
As Fouad correctly pointed out that good expertise in CAD tool will make you a solid team member of any CAD project but to learn the art of delivering the solid product you have to master the Project Management Skills.
There are many excellent sources available online like Harvard Business Review, Forbes and so on and so forth.
I would say you can learn these topics apart from Fouad''s suggestions-
- Hybrid Project Management (Mixture of Waterfall and Agile)
- Stakeholder Management (Which includes the Client Management)
- Project Risk Mangement and there Mitigations Saving Changes...
