Presentation:

"Change Enabled PM: How to Work Yourself Out of a Job"

Too much project management while macro in the Inception and Elaboration phases, all too often result in micro development, testing, and production phases. This leaves the "Eco-System" that is impacted by the project deliverables with unnecessary levels of resistance, due to lack of Change Management follow-through. Using a case study, we will present simple CM techniques that work well with Project Management styles (e.g. RUP, Agile), and provide the stakeholders with deliverables and outcomes that enable the project to move on to their next venture with minimal requests to assist them with transitional issues (i.e. Work Yourself Out of Job). We will show you how to provide responsible 'service' to your stakeholders that empowers them to embrace the changes your project engenders.
