摘要:AbstractAn effective project management approach is key to obtaining successful projects. In this study, a review of the three main industries that practise project management is conducted. This paper focusses on the application of Japanese project management (JPM) methods, namely Project and Program Management (P2M)/KaikakuProject Management (KPM) in construction, manufacturing and information technology (IT) industries. KPM evolves from P2M, and KPM's 3K-kakusin(innovation), kaihatsu(development) andkaizen(improvement) are the essences applied when practicing JPM style. In conclusion, the nature of practice in these three industries is different, but the management methods and approaches are almost the same.
