The Purpose and Role of the Interim Change Manager

The purpose of the Interim Change Manager is to create, implement and manage a change control procedure, which will ensure that changes to the agreed scope of a project and/or programme and its subsequent products are evaluated sufficiently to avoid the problems of scope creep i.e. the evolving scope, purpose or objective which is often oblivious to the eyes of the project team.

An Interim Change Manager will depict the change management procedures and change control procedures/mechanisms that are to be followed across the organisation and will ensure that change (where necessary) occurs in a controlled manner. This includes the submission of issues, their analysis and associated informed decision making.

An Interim Change Manager is primarily benefits–focused and will ultimately concentrate on ensuring that benefits of a project are realised by paying close attention to the original requirements and how they will be impacted when a request for change (or change request) is raised and accordingly implemented.

General responsibilities of an Interim Change Manager

An Interim Change Manager has the following responsibilities:

To design, create and implement a suitable change control procedure that is comprehendible and comprehensive across the organisation, its programmes or projects.
To capture, log and categorise all Programme or Project Issues and where they are Requests for Change to follow them through the change control procedure.
To be a single point of contact for project and/or programme issues and changes.
To coordinate and manage impact assessments relating to requests for change (when conducted).
To liaise with the Change Control Board (where allocated) or Project Board regarding authorising change.
To ensure the interests of the sponsoring group are met by the programme / project.
To ensure the delivery of a change request is compatible with the realisation of benefits specifically identifying, defining and tracking the benefits and outcomes required.
To lead activities associated with benefits realisation and ensure that the benefits continue to be achieved and measured after the programme / project has been completed.
To work with the Programme and/or Project Managers to ensure that the scope of individual projects cover the necessary aspects required to deliver the products or services that will lead to operational benefit(s).
