Manage Project Knowledge is the process of using existing knowledge and creating new knowledge to achieve the project's objectives and contribute to organization's learning (PMBOK 6th 2018). It is about using existing knowledge within the organization to achieve the project’s objectives and then using new knowledge gained on the project to contribute to the organization”s body of knowledge.

The process must include tools that allow converting data into information, and information into knowledge. The knowledge nowadays can be in written, digital media, videos, audios, images.
