There are many variations of project management that have been customized for different domains. Although the basic principles are the same among any of these variations, there are unique features present to address unique problems and conditions specific to each domain.
There are two main types of project management:
Traditional Project management
Modern Project management
The traditional project management uses orthodox methods and techniques in the management process. These methods and techniques have been evolved for decades and are applicable for most of the domains. But for some domains, such as software development, traditional project management is not a 100% fit.
Therefore, there have been a few modern project management practices introduced to address the shortcomings of the traditional method. Agile and Scrum are two such modern project management methods.
Definition for Traditional Project Management:
PMBOK defines the traditional project management as 'a set of techniques and tools that can be applied to an activity that seeks an end product, outcomes or a service
I think the question implies that you believe that Project Management is an evolution of normal, traditional management.Project Management is about a managing a project with a defined length (in time), cost, and specification. Project Management is said to be about 90% communications (thus the importance), as the Project Manager usually has to communicate to a lot of people (stakeholders, employees, etc...), in order to get his/her project done.
Project Management is more or less of a standardized process for handling projects from inception to completion. Typically, a project manager works under a functional manager (I believe this is what you mean by traditional management). A functional manager usually has the resources and has more authority than the project manager. In small companies, a functional manager can also be a project manager.
