ABSTRACT

As a practitioner and consultant in project management for GPBL, Inc., since 1996, I (B. L.) have observed that the range of practices in the fi eld of project management is mostly similar from one industry to another. Indeed, GPBL helps many organizations in project management, whatever the industry. Project management is similar for a broad range of organizations, whether public or private, in industries as diverse as regulated, hydroelectric utilities, manufacturing, engineering, and corporate.
