Project Management

Manage your projects with the BPMO Integrated Project and Change Management Protocol

Project management and change management are two closely related disciplines that are essential for the long-term success of any organization. Project management is the process of preparing, organizing, and managing resources to achieve a specific goal, service, or outcome. Change management is the process of preparing, communicating, supporting and influencing change and different ways of thinking. 

Both project management and change management are essential for the successful implementation of new initiatives and/or the adoption of new processes. Project management ensures that the project is completed in alignment with specific objectives or requirements, and Change management ensures that the individuals who will be affected by the outcome of the project are prepared for the change and ready to to adopt the new approach or way of thinking, etc. 

LEARN WHY WE INTEGRATE PROJECT AND CHANGE MANAGEMENT

These two disciplines are often seen as separate, but they are actually very closely coupled. Effective project management can help to minimize the impact of change on people, and effective change management can help to ensure that projects are completed and implemented successfully. Our methodology brings together the best of both disciplines to create one fluid and simple approach to creating,implementing and influencing change.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE KEY BENEFITS

  • Improved collaboration: Project team members and stakeholders can communicate effectively when in alignment with the project goal and plan to share and socialize the change 

  • Reduced risk of project failure: Preparing for tasks within a project while simultaneously planning for the outcome allows teams to focus on impact and not get caught up in the activities that can set the project on a path to failure

  • Improved decision making: Understanding the desired end state of a project alongside the long-term goals for the solution or outcome provides clarity and unity when done correctly  

  • Increased employee engagement and adoption: By conducting change management work early on in the project, team members are more quickly able to visualize the purpose and effect their contributions make in the long term.

  • Improved end-user satisfaction: Reduced stress and anxiety for the stakeholders and downstream participants 

  • Enhanced organizational agility: Change focused organizations are adaptable to change and better situated to pivot when necessary
