What is Change Management?

Change Management provides the process to manage the impact that change has on the people in an organization.  It is concerned with the human resource and organizational aspects of change.

What is the Methodology’s Approach to Change Management?

The Change Management methodology:

• ensures that the organization is ready to successfully undertake the change,
• establishes a communications program to minimize resistance or confusion and maximize acceptance of the change,
• assesses the impact that the change will have on the organization,
• develops the organizational and human resource infrastructure required to support the change,
• supports the implementation of the change,
• monitors and evaluate the effectiveness of the change management program.

How does Change Management relate to other methodologies?

The Change Management methodology is a support methodology.  It is used on projects that promote change within an organization (e.g., BPE, EWAS, SSP, C/S, RAD).   The Change Management methodology is presented as a separate methodology but it is not a stand-alone methodology.  Its activities and tasks are linked to the stages of the BPE, EWAS, SSP, and development methodologies where they are performed.
