Although
knowledge management is a necessary part of strategic development of
organizations, resources and improvement in competition, since it is always
seenjust as a temporary solution, most of related experiences have faced
failure. Moreover since projects are mostly temporary and after they are done
some of the main team members leave the company, this means the knowledge goes
with them so this will cost future projects more money and time. In the present
study we will try to find the main barriers for knowledge transmission and to
rank them by statistical method of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). In the end
it comes to conclusion that despite the existence of theProject
Management Body of Knowledge(PMBOK),
it has been overlooked. The main barriers are the lack of organizational
culture of preserving and sharing the knowledge and lack of trust and
appreciation for using it throughout the company.
