Discuss ACMP Global CCMP Exam Topic 2 Question 16

What should a change manager do at the end of a change effort to enhance his/her organization's ability to deal with future change?

ARelease all change resources for use on other efforts

BTransfer ownership of change outcomes to operational stakeholders

CDesign and conduct a lessons learned evaluation

DEvaluate the change outcomes against project objectives

Suggested Answer: C

A lessons learned evaluation captures what worked well and what did not during a change effort, producing insights for future initiatives. ACMP specifies that documenting lessons is essential for organizational learning and improving maturity in change management. While transferring ownership (B) and evaluating outcomes (D) are important closure steps, the action that most directly enhances the organization's ability to handle future changes is conducting and sharing a lessons learned evaluation.

(Reference: ACMP Standard, Process Group 5 -- Close; Activity: Document lessons learned and share with organization.)
