By doing effective change management, executing the planned activities will be easier. The ability to solve unplanned activities will reveal your expertise.

Frequently configured change management is only for technical change requests. Those requests that are ordered from the vendor and have a cost effect. It is also important to manage the changes in business in order for the successful deployment.

It makes sense to collect and list any change requests, even if they are not implemented as necessary. This is how you can find the real need for change.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row top_padding=”50″ bottom_padding=”50″ class=”green-right-bg” full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” equal_height=”yes” css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”.vc_custom_1514040267846{margin-top: -150px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;background-image: url(https://vip.projecttop.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/laptop-bg.png?id=1533) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column column_center=”true” width=”1/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”The development CR-activity
