A project can be delivered on time, within budget, and according to scope and still fail to produce the intended organizational results. While project management provides the structure for delivering solutions, change management prepares people to understand, adopt, and sustain them. This presentation explores how project managers can integrate practical change management principles throughout the project lifecycle without assuming the role of a full-time change practitioner.
