    Study Notes

    Integration of Project Management and Change Management

    • Project management and change management are complementary yet distinct disciplines that may overlap during change delivery.
    • Effective integration of project management and change management is required to ensure that organizational objectives are achieved.
    • Integration can occur across various dimensions, including roles and responsibilities, methodology and plan, tools and resources, and objectives and outcomes.
    • Project management should focus on the application of skills, tools, and techniques to deliver planned change in a structured way.
    • Change management should focus on implementing and sustaining the delivered change, such as influencing individual behavior and organizational culture.
    • The scope and focus of the two disciplines should be clearly defined early in the planning process, and overlaps and interdependencies should be identified and documented.
    • Project management and change management methodologies differ in focus, with project management emphasizing the organization and management of resources and activities required to complete projects, and change management emphasizing the people side of change.
    • The two approaches should be integrated to ensure that the right amount of attention is given to both the technical and people side of change.
    • Project management and change management plans should be integrated into an overall plan because project milestones and change management activities may trigger one another.
    • Practitioners use a variety of tools to deliver, implement, control, and measure change, and where commonalities exist, tools should be integrated to increase efficiency and collaboration between the two disciplines.
    • The common objective of project management and change management is to add value to the organization, with project management delivering the planned change, and change management ensuring that the delivered change is implemented and adopted to enable the realization of the expected benefits.
    • Both project management and change management recognize that risks can have a significant impact on the organization’s ability to deliver and implement change, with change management focusing on risks to the adoption of the change, threats to the realization of the expected benefits, and threats to ing the change.

    • Change management should focus on implementing and sustaining the delivered change, such as influencing individual behavior and organizational culture.
    • The scope and focus of the two disciplines should be clearly defined early in the planning process, and overlaps and interdependencies should be identified and documented.
    • Project management and change management methodologies differ in focus, with project management emphasizing the organization and management of resources and activities required to complete projects, and change management emphasizing the people side of change.
    • The two approaches should be integrated to ensure that the right amount of attention is given to both the technical and people side of change.
    • Project management and change management plans should be integrated into an overall plan because project milestones and change management activities may trigger one another.
    • Practitioners use a variety of tools to deliver, implement, control, and measure change, and where commonalities exist, tools should be integrated to increase efficiency and collaboration between the two disciplines.
    • The common objective of project management and change management is to add value to the organization, with project management delivering the planned change, and change management ensuring that the delivered change is implemented and adopted to enable the realization of the expected benefits.
    • Both project management and change management recognize that risks can have a significant impact on the organization’s ability to deliver and implement change, with change management focusing on risks to the adoption of the change, threats to the realization of the expected benefits, and threats to ing the change.

    Developing Sponsorship and Stakeholder Engagement Strategies for Change Management

    Developing Sponsorship Strategy:

    • The purpose of developing the Sponsorship Strategy is to prepare and leverage sponsors to promote, gain support for, and drive adoption of a change.
    • The Change Management Lead should be responsible for developing the Sponsorship Strategy with input from others who have knowledge and experience with sponsors.
    • Sponsors are critical to change success because they provide resources, set expectations, build support, identify and mitigate risks, and provide consistent high-level messaging.
    • The Sponsorship Strategy should outline why sponsors are critical to the success of a change effort.
    • A high-level approach for gaining sponsorship commitment should be developed, including building a coalition of sponsorship that will drive and support the Sponsorship Strategy.
    • Risks to consider include a lack of sponsor commitment and support for the change, sponsorship competency gaps, and past sponsorship challenges.
    • Inputs for developing the Sponsorship Strategy include Change Risks, Organizational Change Readiness Assessment, Sponsorship Alignment Assessment, Stakeholder Analysis, and the Sponsorship Strategy itself.

    Developing Stakeholder Engagement Strategy:

    • The purpose of developing the Stakeholder Engagement Strategy is to ensure that individuals or groups impacted by a change and those who can positively affect the overall success of the change are engaged in the change effort.
    • Stakeholder engagement involves taking appropriate steps to identify stakeholders, conduct a Stakeholder Analysis, identify required engagement, and identify activities needed for engagement.
    • Stakeholder engagement may not be appropriate for all change management efforts, but in complex, large-scale efforts, developing an overall direction and approach for stakeholder engagement helps to align and integrate stakeholder engagement plans, activities, requirements, and metrics.
    • Stakeholder engagement requires the attention and involvement of people impacted by changes or who can influence the success of the changes, and focuses on what stakeholders need to know and do.
    • Good stakeholder engagement attracts and holds the attention of stakeholders to the degree needed for change success.
    • The degree and type of stakeholder involvement required varies based on variables such as time, resource availability, negotiable elements within the future state, Change Management Strategy (directive versus collaborative), and stakeholder role.
    • Inputs for developing the Stakeholder Engagement Strategy include Current State Analysis, Change Impact Assessment, Current Communication Channels, Tools, and Methods, Communication Strategy, Sponsorship Strategy, Stakeholder Analysis, and the Stakeholder Engagement Strategy itself.

    Developing a Learning and Development Strategy

    • The Learning and Development Strategy aims to define the required knowledge, skills, and competencies for stakeholders to adopt the change.
    • The strategy identifies the skills and competencies needed, those requiring training, the content and delivery method, and methods to evaluate training effectiveness.
    • The strategy documents what stakeholders must do differently and how they need to work to be successful in the future state.
    • A high-level approach must be defined to ensure understanding of the intended work effort.
    • The learning and development method depends on the type of change and culture of the organization.
    • Key learning and development methods may include instructor-led, computer-based, webcasts/podcasts, role plays, simulations, on-the-job, and gamification.
    • The high-level approach should outline the resourcing plan to conduct the learning and development activities.
    • An estimated timeline should be included in the high-level plan that aligns with the project schedule.
    • Deliverables may include a learning and development plan, curriculum, materials, and evaluation.
    • Key considerations may include license costs, training environments, data privacy requirements, governance for sign-off of training content, and transitioning training to "business as usual."
    • Measuring the success of a learning and development program demonstrates whether participants learned the necessary skills.
    • Learning objectives should define training content and measure adoption after training, and identifying objectives prior to delivery enables evaluation of adoption success after training.

    Components of an Effective Communication Plan

    • The Communication Plan defines internal and external audiences, information, feedback requirements, and specific communication activities and events.
    • Strategic communication activities may include addressing the Case for Change, how the change aligns with the organizational strategy, intended outcomes, benefits of the change, and risks or consequences of a failed effort.
    • Tactical communications could include status reports and “how to” guides for technology changes.
    • The Communication Plan should include all actions needed to build awareness of the change and clearly outline what is expected from people affected by the change.
    • The Target Audience(s) should encompass stakeholders directly and indirectly impacted by the change.
    • Outcomes should define what the audience should know, think, and do because of communication actions.
    • The Sender should be identified, with strategic communications coming from organizational leadership or other key leaders.
    • Key Messages should describe the words and visuals that will drive the intended communication goal for each unique stakeholder group.
    • Communications Channels should be selected based on their potential effectiveness in reaching each target audience.
    • Frequency should specify the number of times key messages will be communicated in selected channels.
    • Timing should define the schedule for communication activities to ensure timeliness and prevent communication overlap.
    • Monitoring and Feedback mechanisms should be in place to assess the effectiveness of the plan and allow for adjustments to achieve the expected benefits of the change effort.
