# Change Result/Status

The **Change Result/Status** is crucial for evaluating the outcome of the change initiative after its implementation. It provides a clear overview of how the change has been received and whether it has met its objectives.&#x20;

The status of a change can fall into one of four categories:

1. **Successful - No Problems**: This indicates that the change was implemented smoothly without any issues. Stakeholders have embraced the new processes or systems, and the desired outcomes have been achieved without complications.
2. **Successful - Problems Encountered but Mitigated**: While challenges arose during the implementation, effective strategies were employed to address these issues. For instance, roll-forward steps may have been added to the change process to enhance its effectiveness and ensure successful integration.
3. **Unsuccessful - Roll-back Plan Conducted Successfully**: This status reflects a situation where the change did not yield the expected results, but a roll-back plan was executed effectively. The organisation reverted to the previous state, minimising disruptions and allowing for further evaluation and planning.
4. **Unsuccessful—Unable to Roll Back**: In some cases, changes cannot be reversed due to various factors, such as system dependencies or stakeholder resistance. This status indicates that the change initiative has failed without a clear path to return to the original state, necessitating a thorough review and potentially new strategies.
