Since change is inevitable, it has to do with managing that change to, among other things, avoid unpleasant side-effects. Many fears are born of stupidity and ignorance - Which you should be feeding with rumour and generalisation. BOfH, 2002 "Episode" 10

We (this company) need "change management" because, it seems, most people have NO concept of who needs to be informed when there IS a change or how to IMPLEMENT a change or even whether or not a change needs to be TESTED on a NON-PRODUCTION SYSTEM. I am not joking. NONE of this is anything but "common sense" and basic communication / documentation. twiki has been an INCREDIBLE help with this. :)

No wait, you don't work here. First we'd have to have a non-production system before we could talk about doing any testing on it. === Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978\|Andrew Grygus]

So what is "change management" anyway, dealing with changes? [link\|http://pub75.ezboard.com/bantiiwethey\| New and improved, Chicken Delvits!]

I was not sure what it meant besides changing management. [link\|http://pub75.ezboard.com/bantiiwethey\| New and improved, Chicken Delvits!]
