5 October 2019 – Mumbai, India – Access to a new resource has been added to the PM World Library (PMWL) related to the relationship of change management to project management. The new resource is titled “How to successfully integrate change and project management”, a thought leadership article published on prosci.com.
Both the Change Management and Project Management disciplines aim to bring change and increase the likelihood that projects deliver desired outcomes. Project management provides the structure and processes to ensure that changes are developed and delivered effectively from technical perspectives. On the other side, change management focuses on people to ensure that a change is embraced and adopted.
The article points out that in order to create value on a given project and develop a unified approach to implement the change, these two disciplines have to be integrated. However, for the integration to happen the organization has to meet certain pre-requisites:
- Focus on results and outcomes
- Recognition of the role and value of change management
- Structured and rigorous approach to change management
Further it says that not many are aware of the need and the importance of change management which delays or prevents the integration of change into project management activities. The article discusses such obstacles that the organizations face regarding integration and the key success factors in overcoming them. It provides various project and change management activities and lays out the similarities and overlaps in the project life cycle process.
