Overview: Change management in the context of this paper is the process of setting, managing and meeting the expectations of stakeholders to ensure project success. It is not about scope control and management of changes to scope, schedule, or quality, although these attributes impact the change management process. These latter types of changes are usually known as "change control" or "engineering change control" which is a functional process within project management and is not considered in this paper This paper discussed the need for recognizing that project management and change management are inseparable, and identifies the major players in the change management regime. Change management is about championing the project and ensuring that the project is understood accepted and embraced by the stakeholder community. Well-managed projects do not involve a separate change management team, or separate change management activities per se. Well-managed projects ensure that change management is an integral part of the project management process.
