Seminar Overview
Knowledge
management, with the collection of lessons learned and the development of a
knowledge repository, are best practices for all project professionals.
However, in the rush to complete projects on time or early, often knowledge
management is an after- thought in today’s challenging environment. This
seminar describes how best to incorporate knowledge management into the daily lives
of project professionals, using the Project Management Office (PMO) as the
catalyst for this process. The first day focuses on the importance of knowledge
management (KM) to project management (PM) and presents a methodology to
incorporate knowledge management into project management. Day two covers the
importance of communities of practice, maturity assessments, and presents
guidelines you can use to enhance knowledge management as part of your overall
project management practice.
