Change management
Change management is the work of getting people to actually use a new system or process — training, communication, naming owners, and handling the resistance that comes from asking people to work differently.

Why projects with good software still fail
Because a system nobody uses is indistinguishable from a system that does not exist. The failure is rarely technical and almost always looks the same: a parallel spreadsheet appears within a month, and within three the spreadsheet is the real record again.
Resistance is usually information
Someone refusing to use the new process often knows something the design missed — an exception that matters, a customer who is handled differently for a reason. Treating that as obstruction loses the information. Treating it as a bug report is usually more accurate.
What actually moves adoption
Naming an owner per process. Training on the real workflow rather than the software's menu. And removing the old path — as long as the spreadsheet still works, it will be used.
Questions people ask
At discovery, not at go-live. The people who helped define the process rarely need convincing to follow it.
No. Training explains the mechanism. Adoption also needs the reason, an owner, and the old route closed.
