In software project management, the term "change management" actually has several different meanings. In one context, change management is to manage changes to artifacts, such as code changes and document changes. This is also called "configuration management". In this context, change management tools are used to handle operations such as version control. These tools prevent multiple people from modifying artifacts at the same time. These tools allow different versions of a specific product to be developed at the same time by tracking ongoing changes, undoing changes, or allowing multiple passes as needed There is a function. Keeping track of changes is important to the quality of software projects. By changing controls, teams can associate code fixes and enhancements with flaws and automate builds, fixes or releases.

Project management and change management are two areas that often function in parallel, but they have some similarities. However, these are different fields. In the case of software development and implementation, please consider project management. The project manager cooperates with the project team to plan, transmit and execute actual development and implementation. The change manager cooperates with the same project management team to identify, communicate, and effectively manage all aspects related to how to ultimately affect all stakeholders.

The most pressing issue concerning the integration of project management and change management is the recognition and support of the project team on the importance of change management. Project owners and project managers may not understand the value or importance of change management. In addition, the project team can consider change management as overhead, delay project progress and put in budget. The project team may lack the importance of change work and the overall perception of value change management.
