    I would say project management as a skill, as a profession and transferable between industry. That is the case you can transfer the skills because the procedures and processes are equally applicable to building a building to building construct the construction industry to the electronic industry to aircraft industry to the oil industry. The techniques, procedures and processes are same. The difficulty will be transferring that skill from one industry. Another is that you got to really understand the industry. That is the big issue. People always don’t pick technology where they don’t understand the technology. So certain extent that limits the amount of movement you could as a project manager would be pretty difficult to go from a civil engineering contract to electronic read any project and then the in the defense industry for example that would be a quite challenging thing to do. But nevertheless, the techniques that you would use to run the civil engineering project are exactly the same as the techniques that you use to run an electronic program in the defense industry. So I would say its transferable skill out differences it that experience that you get. The worst thing you can do is walk into a situation where you don’t understand what engineers are talking about because they will tell you what you want to hear. As project manager should able to filter it out which information are good and which are bad.
