Question 112

Eric is working on a project to design a new heating system for his organization's building. The heating system he intends on developing is based on a successful model from Denmark. Eric has decided to contact one of the project managers from a previous project to learn what went well and adapt his idea to his project. After an hour-long Zoom meeting with the other project manager, Eric receives several project artifact templates and prototype designs from the other project management for his reference. What level of knowledge management best describes the scenario above?
  • A Tacit
  • B Organization
  • C Project
  • D Individual
Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: C

Explanation

At the project level, the focus is on achieving the goals of the current project. The project manager will solicit knowledge from project managers or project leaders involved with other projects, and their experience can then be applied to the current project. The Project Management Office (PMO) is also an excellent source of knowledge, as it exists to define and maintain standards for project management within an organization. Individual knowledge is not a valid knowledge management level. Tacit knowledge is knowledge with context that is difficult to codify as it resides in people's minds. Organizational knowledge is about managing programs or portfolios.
