SYNOPSIS

The PMBOK Guide, Sixth Edition, incorporated a new project management process, that is, “Manage Project Knowledge” and defined it as “the process of using existing knowledge and creating new knowledge to achieve the project’s objectives and contribute to organisational learning”. If knowledge and experience from past projects is captured, organised and maintained in the organisation knowledge base that is accessible to project teams it can be reused and leveraged for future project success.

This webinar highlights the importance of managing knowledge throughout the project and suitable tools for capturing and sharing project knowledge within and across projects. The speaker will also discuss issues that project managers need to address in managing knowledge in a project environment.
