If no organizational (dedicated) change manager is appointed, the Project Manager is responsible for the design of the change management plan together with the Core Team, and for the coordination of the change management actions in order to come to an adoption of the solution. He/she manages functionally (on content) the team assigned to his/her project. Project managers typically lead by example. A project manager can manage one or more projects.
