Book excerpt: We know that in comparison with the organizations, which are supported by structure and routines to suck up knowledge, project based-organization do not have any supportive natural transfer mechanism and also do not have any organizational memory, as they are temporary in nature. So, without a certain knowledge system and supporting culture during a project's life cycle, knowledge assets can misplaced once a project is completed. This results in organizational knowledge destruction and loss of organizational learning. Knowledge management (KM) for project is vital for organizations to achieve competition and to survive in a dynamic environment. However, it's is not an easy task, planned management efforts are require to capture and transfer of knowledge in projects. This study aims to analyze critical factors of knowledge management in the project based-organization with the help of ISM.This study shows that top management support, investment cost, organization and IT infrastructure are the main enablers of managing knowledge in the projects and it is advocated that project managers should harmonize KM practices with organization culture and launch a user-friendly system.

Book excerpt: Organizations invest a lot of time, money, and energy into developing and utilizing risk management practices as part of their project management disciplines. Yet, when you move beyond the project to the program, portfolio, PMO and even organizational level, that same level of risk command and control rarely exists. With this in mind, well-known subject matter expert and author Andy Jordan starts where most leave off. He explores risk management in detail at the portfolio, program, and PMO levels. Using an engaging and easy-to-read writing style, Mr. Jordan takes readers from concepts to a process model, and then to the application of that customizable model in the user’s unique environment, helping dramatically improve their risk command and control at the organizational level. He also provides a detailed discussion of some of the challenges involved in this process. Risk Management for Project Driven Organizations is designed to aid strategic C-level decision makers and those involved in the project, program, portfolio, and PMO levels of an organization. J. Ross Publishing offers an add-on for a nominal fee -- Downloadable tools and templates for easy customization and implementation.
