Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide some exploratory results concerning change modelling and propagation in Product Development (PD) project as a theoretical contribution to the change management theory. In order to identify changes, we propose a conceptual model of change occurring and change propagation relying on objects, which are the elements composing the PD project as a system, and then we observe the objects to compare their initial constraints with the actual performance to perceive the potential changes. With the result, changes in a PD project can be perceived and identified in underlying way to improve the further change management work in terms of various considerations of project evolvement.
