Change Management is often regarded as a separate discipline. But I want to argue that it is, in fact, part of the job we do as Project Managers.

Change Management – the management of change. It's the task of leading the process of cultural, behavioral, and psychological change.

Some view it as the soft side of Project Management – not a job for proper Project Managers.
Others view it as a distinct discipline.

But the fact is…
There is a spectrum of skills, methods, and approaches that runs from Project management to Change Management.

As Project Manager, you need to be able to play across the whole spectrum.
You will have a part of the spectrum where you are most comfortable. But we must view projects as an integrated whole. That means seeing Change Management as part of our practice.

Just as the PMI sets itself up to marginalize its Knowledge Areas, I want to put in a plea for this as a core part of your skillset.

A while back, I asked Project Managers in a couple of forums what material things you need to have, to do your job as a Project Manager. They responded magnificently. I compiled their answers into a Kit list.
