This means people think they have more time for “run the business” activities that is actually available, putting them under pressure because they have too much of their day job to do whilst at the sametime trying to change how they work to accommodate the deliverables from multiple change initiatives.  \nThis under-reporting has significant impacts further up the organisation, because it creates a belief that there is capacity in the organisation for change. Those at the sharp end of having to adopt new ways of working are drowning from the volume of change they are experiencing, which will not decreases unless senior managers recognise they are at crisis point.  \nWe can all contribute to a more honest discussion about available capacity by correctly describing all the work involved in change. A simple step is to ensure that every project plan, for stand-alone projects and those that are part of bigger programmes of strategic change contain a full break-down of the change activities – a balance of project delivery and the change management activities that enable the adoption of these project deliverables into business as usual.  \nThis paper explains how to create an integrated project and change plan. I chose the word integrated deliberately to represent the bringing together of these two types of activities into one coordinated approach. This is because although the project activities are often carried out by project team members who will not be the end users of what they create; and the change activities are carried out by those who have to work differently, each party needs the other.  \nProject team members benefit from understanding the effort involved in making the shift to new ways of working, because they can use this understanding to support the transition. For example, making early prototypes of the project deliverables available to users so that they can get a better understanding of what they will be working with, helps to shape their new processes, procedures and quality standards.  \nSimilarly, understanding how these deliverables are created, in what order and over what time period gives valuable information to these users about when they should be available to share their requirements and help test the deliverables.  \nUse this paper to answer these questions:  \n• What is the difference between a Project Plan and a Change Plan?  \n• Why do we need a Change Plan?  \n• What activities need to be included in a Change Plan?  \n• Who is responsible?  \n• How do we measure the success of our change management activities?  \nWhat is the difference between a Project Plan and a Change Plan?  \n© Agile Change Management Limited 2023  \nProjects create deliverables which need to be adopted by their users and incorporated into how work is undertaken. Only when use of the project deliverables becomes normal i.e. they have been fully integrated and are the new‘business as usual’ can their benefits be realised.  \nChange management activities ensure that those affected by change are supported as they make the transition from old ways of working to new ways of working.  \nThis involves helping those affected to identify what aspects of their work need to change, helping them to re-design their work and providing encouragement to shift from well established, well understood working practices to new approaches.  \nTransition activities are triggered by the start of a project and continue after the end of a project. It is very difficult to estimate an exact amount of time, because transition only finishes when individuals have become comfortable with the new ways of working and have developed a similar or i","cbCaii1eMzN44qoJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii1eMzN44qoJ","pdf",1220538,13,"English","# Introduction\n## What is the difference between a Project Plan and a Change Plan?\n## Why do we need a Change Plan?\n## Contents of a Change Plan","[{\"question\":\"What is the main problem when organisations under-report change activities and effort?\",\"answer\":\"They underestimate the work required to define and adopt new ways of working, creating unrealistic beliefs about available capacity and increasing pressure on teams at the front line.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the difference between a Project Plan and a Change Plan?\",\"answer\":\"Projects create deliverables that must be adopted by users for benefits to be realised, while change management activities support affected people as they transition from old ways of working to new ones.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is a Change Plan needed in Agile projects as well as waterfall projects?\",\"answer\":\"A Change Plan helps assimilate project deliverables; in waterfall it comes at the end, while in Agile it occurs at the end of each increment or sprint, where the overall volume of change is often higher.\"}]","Creating an Integrated Project and Change Management Plan - 2.0 | PDF",1789186198]
