reply to While it may be in the project manager's best interest to fix the project scope so that the team works in one direction in a coherent manner, it may be hard to resist change as the project progresses. Pappas argues that instead of fearing changes in a project, one needs to embrace it and rather expect changes to come up in projects right from the get-go (Pappas, 2006). The author puts change management on the centerpiece, and states that project managers should gain appropriate training in change management and should encourage change instead of resisting it. This can directly lead to more efficient project execution and also makes the team capable of working with changes in future
