I think that project management in any industry can be broken down into the PDCA cycle outlined in lecture. For different projects, you might need to emphasize or concentrate on one part of the cycle more than another but that basic outline can be followed to output a quality product. The main difference would of course be the background knowledge but most companies provide so much training and resources, I believe one can pick it up.

Do others feel that if you are a good project manager in one industry you can easily transfer to another and be just as good? Or do you believe there is no substitute for experience and there is no way to manage a project without a degree in the field and experience?
