What Do We Know about Knowledge Management? Practical Implications for Software Engineering

There have been many claims about knowledge management´s benefits in software engineering, such as decreased time and cost for development, increased quality, and better decision-making abilities. Although we can find some success stories illustrating these claims, particularly on aspects related to the systems and engineering schools, more research is necessary to explore the intersection between each school and the software engineering field. Researchers should continue to emphasize the need for a broad focus across multiple KM schools to suceed in improving KM´s practical application in software engineering.
