Being able to apply the project management skills you learn to a real world situation is

critical to becoming a project manager. Each project has its own unique challenges and

it is important to learn how to analyse and address them.

Change is almost inevitable in projects, and effective management of change is

necessary to enable a project to proceed as planned. Effective management of change

means subjecting all requests to the change control process, identifying all the impacts

of changes on the project objectives, and communicating project status to project

stakeholders as defined in the Communications and/or Stakeholder Management

Plan(s).

Tools utilised for the management of change can be manual or automated, and should

be selected as appropriate for each project. They need to meet the needs of

stakeholders as well as organisational and environmental factors.
