Challenges of managing knowledge across projects

This article identifies a series of challenges for managing knowledge across projects. Knowledge management can be broadly defined as the set of processes, tools, and techniques for the most effective and efficient use of knowledge. Knowledge management across projects (KMAP) offers an opportunity for multi-project organizations to improve, maintain, and create organizational capabilities to generate sustained competitive advantage. The challenges for managing knowledge across projects were identified through the literature and by the experience of the author as applied researcher. This investigation serves as foundation for further research and development in the effort to define the appropriate set of managerial actions required for successful knowledge management in multi-project environments.
