Change Management – the management of change. Leading the process of cultural, behavioral, and psychological change.
Some view it as the soft side of Project Management – not a job for proper Project Managers.
Others view it as a distinct discipline.
There is a Spectrum of skills, knowledge, and tools that ranges from ‘pure’ Project Management to ‘pure’ Change Management.
As PM you need to be able to play across the whole spectrum. You will have a part of the spectrum where you are most comfortable. But we must view projects as an integrated whole.
That means seeing Change Management as part of our Project Management practice.
