Abstract :
SkillSet, a hypertext intelligent system that provides advice and suggests management tools appropriate for solving problems encountered in project management contexts, is described. The suggestions are drawn from a database of 230 managerial tools which have been organized into 60 tool groups. The system helps to diffuse the company´s collective experience to project managers throughout the firm. It also provides an overview of each of the tools in its knowledge base to users on the company network. Special emphasis is placed on the human problems that are present in managing teams of knowledge workers (e.g., software engineers). The SkillSet system incorporates knowledge captured from both organizational experiences and external consultants
