Using change management

[Cosmet]

Change management can take many forms and include many change environments. The most common usage to the term refers to organizational change management.
Organizational change management is the process of developing a planned approach to change in an organization. Typically the objective is to maximize the collective benefits for all people involved in the change and minimize the risk of failure of implementing the change. The discipline of change management deals primarily with the human aspect of change, and is therefore related to pure and industrial psychology.




Is changed management used often in software? I'm reading about it now and it is refering often to software development. I never thought that this occured for software development. People wouldn't and couldn't use this if they were the only person in the business/organization, right?

The book states that even websites can be used for this - anyone here use change management for software development?

I would assume for large organizations it is used often but for small, one person development teams I don't see how it can be used.

We use it at my organization although it isn't as sophisticated as most change management would be. We do test before we release but the programmers can also insert code into production which is very dangerous.
