Change management

States of change

The three states every change action and change strategy goes through: planned (not started), active (being delivered) and completed or terminated (finished, or dropped because of what was learned).

You'll hear it as

Why it matters to you.

Counting "terminated" as a legitimate end, not a failure, lets teams drop work that no longer makes sense without losing face.
