Therefore general management doesn’t have a single clear objective while project management aims at a very specific goal. Risk and change management are two processes integral to PM.While the role of managers and team members remain the same under general management, the same roles keep getting delegated to different people under project management so you have to start fostering team spirit from scratch every time in a new project.
