July 2010 SS Chapter Dinner Meeting

Do you ever wonder how you have met all the requirements but the project doesn’t quite seem a success? Did your requirements address areas such as user adoption? Successful projects leverage organizational change management techniques throughout each and every step. But there is no Body of Knowledge called Change Management. Was this an oversight? Maybe. Are there hidden change management tools woven throughout the PMBOK? Yes. Regardless whether you have a dedicated Change Management resource, as project managers you need to understand your role in anticipating, measuring, and managing resistance to change to ensure successful delivery of your project. After this presentation, you will be able to readily identify the change management tools PMBOK has already equipped you with, the ones you need to develop outside the framework, and how to redefine “success” in broader terms than meeting requirements.
