Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 9 page paper on one aspect of project management. What happens to all the knowledge gained from experiences project team members have during the project process? Companies need to have a procedure to allow knowledge to be communicated company-wide. Companies have vast amounts of underutilized knowledge and information because there is no sharing process established. Instead, the project manager and team members have knowledge that winds up locked in their hard drives but inaccessible to anyone else. This essay discusses tools that can be used to communicate the knowledge to everyone. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

often than not, when multiple projects are in process simultaneously, one does not know what the other is doing. Even worse, knowledge gained by one project team may not be
communicated to the entire company. There are strategies that can be used in both cases, to keep communication open between teams and to communicate knowledge gained during the project. BioWare,
a small game company, found ways to communicate in a multiproject environment (Muzyka and Zeschuk, 2003). The company wanted to keep everyone informed of the progress of each project (Muzyka
and Zeschuk, 2003). They accomplished this by having meetings at different levels that included producer meetings, meetings of the project team leaders, meetings of all the team members, and meetings
of the department leads from different departments (Muzyka and Zeschuk, 2003). At producer meetings, each project lead member would discuss the progress, issues and challenges that project team was facing
