As project managers fail to properly apply knowledge management in projects, firms lose a great deal of knowledge, experiences and lessons learned during projects. This occurs due to the complex nature of the today's projects, high costs and time limitation. To overcome this defect, recently, researchers tried to link knowledge management (KM) practices with those of project management (PM). One way to establish this linkage is to integrate KM and PM processes. Based on theoretical grounds on knowledge management and project management literature, this study introduces a method to implement knowledge management practices, along with project management ones. Using knowledge life cycle phases, we re-define standard project management phases, so that the two processes can be simultaneously and efficiently done.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
