Change Management v. Project Management Triangles: Is it a Fight or Dance? Change Management and Project Management seem to be in conflict at times, with change managers concentrating on the human aspects of change associated with a project while project managers prioritize the technical aspects. However, both roles share a common objective: ensuring the success of a project. This presentation will explore both the Change Management Triangle and the Project Management Triangle and illustrate how they can work together to yield the most successful projects. Join us for a reiteration of one of the most popular sessions at the 2024 Annual Conference.
