Change Management

Change is a fundamental part of all programs. Perfect planning and perfect execution do not exist and every program must deal with change. Change comes in many forms and affects all areas of the program. Some changes are directed and external changes such as funding shortfalls. Other changes surface as a result of desired process improvement or other factors external to the program. Changes will also arise as a result of events within the program. These internal changes may be the result of the risks realized or efficiencies found. Too often controlling change is a discipline applied to the product configuration or the Performance Measurement Baseline in EVM. By creating realistic benchmarks that are based on both internal practices and industry best practices we identify what needs to be changed and the resulting benefit. Sometimes improvements can only be completed through organizational (re)alignment. This allows for gains in efficiencies and organizational effectiveness. At MCR we recognize that uncontrolled change in any part of the program affect program performance. The MCR change implementation creates a baseline and controls change in all areas of the program, from requirements to configurations to service or product delivery. We do this because a key responsibility of the program manager is to control the program.
