What is the Change Management Process?

If there’s one thing you can count on in project management, it’s change. No plan is ever perfect, and we must occasionally adjust our scope, costs, timelines, and deliverables to meet unexpected needs. But not all changes are created equal. While some revisions are imperative to success, others can send a project plummeting off course. So, how do you minimize the risks that come with change? And how do you maximize the rewards? It comes down to implementing and following a change management process. In this lesson, you’ll learn what the change management process is, including the documents, roles, and steps required to implement change.
