Project Management framework cuts across domains. Yet project managers are likely to face challenges when the projects belong to an altogether different industry or domain from project manager's own technical expertise. How should the project managers overcome such challenges? To minimize risk around project success, is it then advisable for the project manager stick to managing projects in his own domain/industry

Project Management is a PORTABLE profession.So as a PM one should be able to work in any domain. It may need additional efforts outside work hours of understanding the business domain (How it works?) and learning the project life cycle of the domain.The most important thing which helped us to succeed in multiple domains is few extra hours of self preparartion & learning the business & technical vocabulary of the domain. Once you know the vocabulry the stakeholders give you sufficient knowledge to fill up the gaps for which there are many formal frameworks are available.
