Change Management versus Change Control

In business circles in general, and project management realm, in particular, the term “Change” is bandied about concerning both Change Management and Change Control.  The term change management is often used interchangeably.  As is usually the case, two terms that are synonymous, but two disciplines that are vastly different can lead to confusion and at times chaos.  Let’s try to decipher the difference between Change Management versus Change Control in simple and understandable terms.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

– Norman Vincent Peale

Change Management versus Change Control

Change Management is the discipline of understanding, adjusting and adapting to a new normal after an enterprise transformation.

Change control is the process of how changes to requirements are sourced, analyzed, managed, and included in the roadmap and implementation schedule.

Change Management is about molding hearts and minds.  Change Control is about governing the requirements management.

Change Management is about not letting investment into a transformation come to naught. Change Control is about not letting the requirements runaway train derail a project or a program.

Change Management may or may not involve technology involvement. Change Control is a part of the overall IT enablement realm.

Change Management could impact an entire company.  Typically, Change Control is about a specific project and a set of requirements.

Hope this clarifies and clears up the Change Management versus Change Control confusion? What terminology do you use to distinguish between the two terms?

Product FAQs:

Can I see a Sample Deliverable?

We are sorry, but we cannot send or show sample deliverables. There are two reasons: A) The deliverables are our intellectual property, and we cannot share the same. B) While you may be a genuine buyer, our experience in the past has not been great with too many browsers and not many buyers. We believe the depth of the information in the product description and the snippets we provide are sufficient to understand the scope and quality of our products.

When can I access my deliverables?

We process each transaction manually and hence, processing a deliverable may take anywhere from a few minutes to up to a day. The reason is to ensure appropriate licensing and also validating the deliverables.

Where can I access my deliverables?

Your best bet is to log in to the portal and download the products from the included links. The links do not expire.

Are there any restrictions on Downloads?

Yes. You can only download the products three times. We believe that is sufficient for any genuine usage situation. Of course, once you download, you can save electronic copies to your computer or a cloud drive.

Can I share or sell the deliverables with anyone?

You can share the deliverables within a company for proper use. You cannot share the deliverables outside your company. Selling or giving away free is prohibited, as well.

Can we talk to you on the phone?

Not generally. Compared to our professional services fee, the price of our products is a fraction of what we charge for custom work. Hence, our business model does not support pre-sales support.

Do you offer orientation or support to understand and use your deliverables?

Yes, for a separate fee. You can hire our consultants for remote help and in some cases for onsite assistance. Please Contact Us.
