Mario: I think the Project Management methodology is similar regardless of the industry. The proximity and motive of some stakeholders to the project may vary from industry to industry and from organisation to organisation. Both the profit driven and non-profit organisations have to manage similar project dynamics such as scope, cost, schedule, quality.
While profit driven organisation have project sponsors located within the organisations, the non-profit organisations may have their sponsors located outside the organisation.
While profit-driven organisation may have human resources for every role, the roles still exist in non-profit organisation although in some case played by one person.
While profit driven organisation most of the time commission projects to improve the wealth of shareholders (except compliance and sustainability projects), non-profit organisation commission projects to improve the wellbeing of the project beneficiaries. Both the two goals can be measured mostly quantitatively in the former and mostly qualitatively in the later.
