Sometimes there is a very thin line that separates projects from operations and it becomes very complicated to distinguish one from the other. Saving Changes...

My position from long time ago and, just to comment, I have put it in papers and congress is: it has no sense to try to put a limit on it. For example, to put this in the framework of "new buzzwords", you can take a look to DevOps. Saving Changes...
Well, Project management involves planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling resources to accomplish explicit goals.
Whereas Operations management is related to regular day-to-day & strategic business matters systematically.
Project Managers role may overlap that of operations manager's role which is ongoing, whereas a project manager's role is w.r.t a specific project which is temporary in nature.

Syed,
would say that all management, also operations management, involves planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling resources to accomplish explicit goals.
The definition of management is to apply resources to objectives.

In the last years, what I saw materialized is something that from long time ago has been in the table: generally speaking it has no sense to make a divisor line. In fact, is what I am living from long time ago in my personal work, where is not easy to convince people that put the many about that but most of them change their minds when see it works.

This is a bit of a tangent. While projects end and operations don't, in the WEF Future of Jobs Report 2020, project managers is listed as 11th in the top 20 list of jobs in increasing demand. Operations manager is on the list of top 20 jobs in decline over the next five years. I think this is due to automation and AI taking over repeated operational work.
In that case, for automation and AI projects, there is quite a bit of operational planning and execution that goes into it. Saving Changes...

In my point of view, the relationship between project management and operation management can be illustrated by a reapeated flow as: (1) Operation - Project - Operation or (2) Project - Operation- Project - Operation. The ending point is always operation, the starting point can be operation or project. Project management focuses on managing works that address operation's problems or on realizing operation's initiatives. The results of project management, deliveries, then will be transferred, operated, managed and maintained by operation management. The project management focuses on the features of the product while the operation management focuses on the operation of the product. The project management focuses more on utilizing human resources while the operation management focuses more on utilizing physical resources. The project management focuses more on the outcomes and the benefits of the business and closely related to the business strategies while the operation management focuses more on the stability of business.
