The document discusses aligning an individual's ability to change with the milestones of a project lifecycle. It emphasizes that the prerequisite for successful change is ensuring impacted employees have the ability to adopt and use changes at "Go-Live". It introduces the ADKAR model and outlines a process for change managers to define the ability needed at Go-Live, build awareness, desire and knowledge before Go-Live, and provide reinforcement after to sustain results. It provides examples of how to plot an individual's change journey over a project lifecycle for different change scenarios.
