Project Knowledge Management

Project knowledge management is not just about creation and distribution of knowledge. It is about the creation of innovation, your competitive advantage, which can only be achieved as a result of the combination and integration of different disciplines and knowledge backgrounds.

You can make current and future projects more efficient and benefit from better performance by using information collected from previous projects. However, applying knowledge transfer methodologies happens throughout the project lifecycle and not in its closing phase when it loses context or needs to be reconstructed.

By capitalizing on the existing knowledge-based assets, a winning project knowledge management program serves to be a source of enhancing project metrics, staff productivity, quality of project output, as well as the efficiency of project processes. However, the implementation of effective Project Knowledge Management can be very challenging.
