| Using
Knowledge Management to Move Forward in Project Management:
Guidelines for Success |
| The
complexities and challenges of today's environment mean that
knowledge is more than ever viewed as a strategic asset. As
a result, project management (PM) and knowledge management
(KM) are both a necessity to lead to an improved competitive
advantage for each organization. There are many commonalities
between the two, and in fact, it can be argued that PM is
a part of KM, or KM is a part of PM. Regardless, both are
important for overall organizational success, as well as for
program and individual project, success. PM practices can
facilitate the attention and dedication to KM. KM practices
can enhance overall PM success in terms of fulfilling both
client and team goals. With KM embedded into PM, the success
rate of projects, in terms of both the client and the team,
can only improve.This presentation discusses why PM is important
to KM, describes a knowledge management methodology for project
management, and presents guidelines to implement KM in the
organization. |
