Change Management Project Assessment Template & Toolkit for Evaluating Project Risk & Success
Hi and welcome to OCMS Portal. Today we’ll provide you with an overview of the Change Risk Assessment tool.
We’ll dive into the change risk assessment tool’s core features that contribute to making OCMS Portal the best All-in-One organizational change management platform by simplifying and streamlining the change management process.
The change risk assessment tool is designed to focus in on project risk in a holistic way. This incorporates the coordination between the project management team and the change management team. It is part of Phase 1: Assess in the OCMS Portal framework.
When you arrive on the Change risk assessment tool you’ll have various questions to score with a yes or no answer. These questions represent different deliverables that are typically needed for a project to be successful.
OCMS Portal is a learning resource, you can access tool related video tutorials and important resources such as documented guides.
OCMS Portal is also a companion while you conduct your change management activities, the change risk assessment tool is there to help you identify different levels of project risk.
In the tool you’ll be able to:
1. Answer risk assessment questions from 3 different stages:
Starting off with “Stage 1: Readiness & Assessment”, that relates to items done during the initial stages of a project, including assessments has stage categories such as Project Documentation Assessment, Team Assessment, and Sponsors. Next, is “Stage 2: Planning & Development” which incorporates items done when planning and deploying the project and has categories like Planning, Communication, and Go-Live Readiness. Lastly, “Stage 3: Post-go-live Normalization” stage is related to post-go-live adoption and normalization activities and has questions inline with Issue Resolution, Post Go-Live Support, and Closure.
2. Modify project management and change management readiness questions to tailor the assessment to your specific organizational needs.
3. Gauge Category, Stage and overfill project risk scores – the risk scores will update as you answer more questions, but the tool is smart enough to only calculate the questions that have been answered, providing an accurate risk score based on where you are in the project’s timeline.
4. View a list layout of your questions as well as risk insights and reports.
The outputs of the change risk assessment tool provides valuable insights on the crucial collaboration between the project and change management teams. Both must work in harmony to reach the overall company objectives. Performing a change risk assessment will help you set risk priorities. Not all risks are created equal and assessing their potential impact and likelihood of occurrence allows you to focus your attention and resources on the most critical risks.
Establishing mitigation plans and strategies at this early stage once risks have been identified and prioritized will significantly reduce the likelihood of risk occurrence or to minimize the impact if they do occur. In addition to mitigation plans, a risk assessment also involves developing contingency plans. This plan outlines what actions will be taken if a risk materializes, ensuring that the project can continue or be brought back on track.
In today’s fast-paced world, staying competitive is the key to success, and our change risk assessment tool in our cutting-edge OCMS Portal All-in-One suite is here to make your life easier.

Background Story Behind the OCM Solution Project Review Software
As a Senior Change Management Consultant and a former U.S. Marine, I have successfully delivered transformational business, social, and culture changes that impacted hundreds of thousands of individuals across the Federal Reserve Bank, Intel, Accenture, Cisco, Apple, Deloitte, Capital One, Fannie Mae, AIG, HSBC, and other organizations.
Throughout my change management career, one major pain point I have heard from hundreds of practitioners has been a lack of a consistent, standardized, and best-in-class project assessment template that can be used to evaluate a project and inform on areas of risk.
And so, as a Pioneer of best business, social, and organizational toolkits and a strong advocate of the global innovation community I decided to work with OCM Solution (formerly AGS) Designers and Developers to launch the #1 top-ranked Project Needs Assessment Template below that any change practitioner, organization or consulting firm can use, irrespective of experience.

FAQ | Project Assessment Examples
What is initial project assessment?
The initial project assessment is done by change managers and project managers at the start of a project to understand what the project is about.
This includes going through a project assessment checklist to see which documents need to be reviewed (project charter, etc.) and who should be contacted to learn the scope, deliverables, timeline, etc. of the project.
What is project risk assessment?
Using a project assessment template for risk assessment involves looking at all stages and areas of a project and indicating areas that are on track and those that are not.
It’s best to know as early as possible that a project is at risk, and where that risk is located, so it can be addressed.
Why is project assessment necessary?
If you don’t assess a project using a project assessment tool, then the project could fail. Project assessment is necessary for catching problem areas before the project fails. It serves as a discussion point and roadmap for things to address in a project to ensure it will meet its objectives.
How do you evaluate project performance?
The OCM Solution Project Assessment Template uses project management and change management deliverables to evaluate project performance. If the deliverables are completed, the project is on track. If they are not, then it indicates an area of project risk.
