Developing the Adaptive Knowledge Management in Context of Engineering Company Project Activities

Abstract

The concept of Adaptive Knowledge Management is an approach essentially increasing the effectiveness of project participants in their processes that are unpredictable or initialized in advance by unknown events. The research deals with developing the strategy of proactive formation of project team competencies within an industrial enterprise. The most important component of this strategy is the formation of “knowledge coordinators” who are responsible for knowledge management and the creation of training and knowledge sharing regulations. On the basis of this strategy the method of determining the adaptation potential of team members is developed, which is based on the assessment of project task implementation of different complexity, taking into account the identifiers of continuous knowledge growth, which allows predicting the possibilities of increasing the competence level and determining the sustainability of project team members’ knowledge. This method can be used to form a project team considering the accumulated experience and knowledge of its participants.

Analysis of the Effectiveness of Combining the Roles Ofscrummaster and Product Owner Inscrum-Teams

“…Moreover, the road to "product owners" in the recommended form goes from the position of "Scrum Master". That, judging both by the list of competencies offered for in-depth study by product owners in [19], and by the list of "7 Skills You Need to Be a Great Product Owner" [21], it is quite different from the list of "core competencies" scrum-masters offered in [24,25]. Based on this contradiction, it is possible to develop a "comparison matrix" and, accordingly, design profiles in the Belbin role space for roles such as Scrum Master and Product Owner in the Scrum role space [26,27].…”
