The difference between project management and process management

Many project managers are always demanding that the process be refined, and that everything in the project management should be written out. And some people who do the process also want to cover the project as much as possible, in fact, the boundary between process development and actual project management is fuzzy, and this gray area needs the project manager to control. Some people say that the process is well established, the project manager is like the line as scripted, step-by-step can be, this is more idealistic.
