Change management in a project.

Project managers have to deal with many things while working on a certain project. A tiny change can alter the project and its undergoing progress a lot so it is better to understand how it is done properly in order to avoid convenience.

The sole purpose of change management is to ensure that a change is going to bring a positive result and the intended and expected results before the change was introduced. It is not entirely possible but to attain maximum benefit is preferable.

One huge change that can be expected or unexpected but it has a huge impact on the project is change in people.

Change is understood in different levels in an organisation i.e.

l Enterprise level

l Project level

l Individual level


Enterprise Level:

Competency and capability of an organisation.

Project level:

When we are taking multiple initiatives, the benefit and value creation of and for the organisation should be kept in mind.

Individual level :

It is an approach that depends of the one person to validate the change successfully.

 

Now as we are focusing on Project Management, we will focus on the project part.

 

l Meaning of change management at a project level

l Goal of change management

l Application of change management

Meaning of Change Management:

A technical definition of a certain terminology is very important while working in any aspect with a team to give them a better understanding upon which they are working on, so a technical definition taken from Prosci is:

“Change management is the application of a structured process and set of tools to manage the people side of change from a current state to a new future state such that the desired results of the change (and expected return on investment) are achieved."

Change management is not basically concerned to the audience but to the project managers and they keep the following terms in mind while going through it:

l Benefit realization.

l Results.

l Outcomes

l ROI

l Adoption.

l Usage.

l Cost.

l Risk.

So to perfectly elaborate what change management is, we must know that who are we talking to and about. While talking to the managers, its all about how we engage and why the change will bring a better outcome than the original plan. When we define it in-front of a proper practitioner then it bends to being a properly structures methodology which introduces strategies into the system and makes it easy for employees to adopt it while keeping in mind the quality of the project outcomes.

Goal of change management:

The main goal of change management is to make sure that the results that are expected from this project are achieved and outcome is generated. It also ensures that the comfort level of employees is not being broken and something foreign is not being introduced into the project which cannot be adapted by the employees and will result in a delay or less quality.

Apply change management at a project:

By following the given step, the process can be completed smoothly:

l Apply a Structured Methodology.

l Customize and Scale Your Approach.

l Dedicate (Or Find) a Resource.

l Work in Collaboration with the Project Team.
