Big Visible Change Wall vs traditional thinking

Two different assumptions about how change should work.

Lean Change

Separating project management and change management is a recipe for disaster. The big visible wall merges these into a single source of truth.

Traditional Change Management

Project managers manage the schedule. Change managers deal with the people. This approach ensures control over execution but may reduce flexibility.

[h1]What is it[/h1]

This is the most important practice of Lean Change Management. Make your change plan, progress and feedback visible. Encourage change stakeholders to meet in front of the wall, whether it's virtually or in-person, or a combination of both. The purpose is to create meaningful conversations face-to-face wherever possible.
