How can we expand our project management career development beyond industries

Question

Does anyone have any personal experience can be shared to give an example to us that it is possible to involve in projects in different industries to advance project management career development?

Answer 1

Project manager by default is somebody that can manage projects in a lot of different domains.

It is simple but mostly forgotten: first thing project manager has to do when is assigned to an initiative is the elicitation activity where she/he must take knowledge about the domain, the stakeholders on the domain, the companies in the domain.

Answer 2

The best way to broaden your PM industry experience is to work for a consulting house (e.g., Deloitte, KPMG, etc.) or a software company (e.g., SAP, Oracle, etc.) as a PM.

By doing so, it is very likely that you will be assigned to projects covering a variety of industries over the course of time.
