The statistics are clear: organizations with strong change management practices are significantly more likely to succeed in their change initiatives. In fact, according to Gartner, effective change management can increase the success rate of change initiatives from 34% to 58%.
Change management is a structured approach to transitioning or transforming an organization’s objectives, processes, or technologies. Its goal is to implement strategies that facilitate change, manage its effects, and help people adapt. This includes methods to redirect resources, adjust business processes, and redefine operations that significantly reshape the company. But not all change management approaches are equal.
For organizations implementing Atlassian tools like Jira, Advanced Roadmaps, Jira Service Management, and Jira Align, open-source change management is not just about navigating the human side of change. It is also about managing the technical aspects of the new tools, which involves structured approaches to redirect resources, adjust business processes, and redefine operations.
