What is change
management?
Change management approaches are not just
applicable in the business organizations but
also applicable in real world. However the
personal change management approach and
organizational change management approach
differs somewhere from each other.
I have learnt that there are many change
management prcatices those are to be
followed by the project managers to make
necessary changes in the business
organizations. The processes followed for
incorporating changes in the business
organizations are as follows:
 Careful planning
 Defining project governance
 Assigning roles of the leaders
 Keeping stakeholders within a loop

With the changing time period the
requirements and demand if the consumers
may change. It is the responsibility of the
project managers to allocate necessary roles

knowledge of the project team members

What did you do?
The steps to be maintained for the successful
implementation of the project scope creep
include:
 agreement and common vision to
the changes
 strong executive leadership
 strategic education program
 a concrete plan for measuring
project success
Changes will be required if the consumers
asked for changes.

training and development program should
also be arranged for them to improve their
skill and knowledge areas.
Again for managing the scope creep the
other steps to be undertaken include:
 Ownership
 individual encouragement
 New roles and responsibilities of
the consumers
In order to gain competitive advantages
and commercial success from the
competitive market the changes are
required.
I handle all the difficulties during that phase
due to frequent support and motivation of
the teachers and class mates.
