Change. Many of us shudder at the thought of change. I used to be that way in my personal life - even to the point of always wanting to take the same vacation because that was comfortable... familiar... and that's what my parents always did. But thankfully I've loosened up quite a bit and have tried lots of new things (including a move from Iowa City to Las Vegas) and I also now eat many foods I would never have considered trying before. And I did it in time to make sure my younger children - like 2-year-old Henry pictured here - weren't so adverse to change because of my own behavior. Ok, maybe the goatee wasn't the best idea, but Henry enjoyed that “change” for a few hours that day and it was a washable marker so I didn’t get in trouble for it.
In terms of project management, change often makes project managers cringe. The mention of it makes project clients check their wallets for available cash. It can cause disputes when there is a disagreement as to whether or not the change is in scope or out of scope. It can cause ulcers, project delays or stoppages, and personnel changes if the client becomes belligerent or too upset.
