The standard for project management

6.1 ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Organizational change management covers the skills and techniques for 

influencing changes that support agility.

The PMI publication, 

Managing Change in Organizations: A Practice 

Guide

 [2], describes a comprehensive and holistic approach for successfully 

introducing meaningful change. The recommendations offered there include:

u

u

Models for describing change dynamics,

u

u

Framework for achieving change, and

u

u

Application of change management practices at the project, 

program, and portfolio levels.

Sections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 explore the considerations of change 

management specific to an agile context. 

Figure 6-1 shows the relationship between these two topics.

Project agility is more effective 

and sustained as the organization 

adjusts to support it.
