# Project Management™
[[this-notebook]] assumes the reader is more familiar with the construction industry
than with any of the other disciplines introduced.
As such, "project management" usually refers to _construction_ project management,
or more generally to a layman understanding of the term:
roughly, "the organizational processes necessary to complete a long-term goal".
%%
Where I am referring specifically to the discipline,
as documented by the [Project Management Institute](htpps://pmi.org),
I've opted to humorously style the term as Project Management™ for clarity.
## TALK
## The Problem with Project Management™
%%
This note is distinguished from [[project-management]]
by referring specifically to doctrine/curriculum,
especially as documented by [The Project Management Institute](htpps://pmi.org).
I've opted to humorously style this concept as Project Management™ for clarity.
That is, "Project management" could never be wrong or even misguided,
but Project Management™ can (and often is).
This note may include generic criticism,
but discussion of the applicability (or lack thereof)
of Project Management™ to construction specifically
## Criticism
The term "Project Management" is deliberately vague,
in the hope that generalizing the terminology
maximizes its applicability across industries.
There are many core Project Management™ ideas that have no parallel in construction,
and there are as many or more critical construction project management problems
There are many core Project Management™ ideas
that have no parallel in other industries,
and industries often have problems of project management
that Project Management™ doctrine has no good solutions for.
See [[project-management-tm-for-construction]] for examples.
I would posit that, despite its cross-discipline language,
Project Management™ practice is only _universally_ applicable
