Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A promising new topic for researchers who focus on project management is the application of knowledge management concepts as a way to improve project success. In this paper, knowledge management theory is used as a lens to examine the Project Management Institute's A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), because this book is globally influential among project managers. Several different theoretical frameworks are used. Results show that the PMBOK® Guide has a strong bias toward explicit and declarative (i.e., “how”) knowledge, and pays less attention to tacit and causal (i.e., “why”) knowledge. Our recommendations outline how the existing structure of the PMBOK® Guide can be preserved while the content is enhanced using knowledge management concepts that have been shown to be influential in enhancing project success. This is an enhanced and expanded version of a paper presented at the PMI Research Conference 2004 in London, England.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
