Abstract

Managing knowledge on IT projects is an important factor in contributing towards project success. The focus of this research is based around how individual 'knowledge workers' within 'IT project teams', might contribute to their organizational units becoming 'knowledge management enabled', i.e. 'having a propensity towards applying knowledge management principles in their activities, procedures, and processes'. Findings from three exploratory case studies are discussed in an attempt to understand what motivates knowledge workers to engage in knowledge sharing activities and what factors inhibit them from doing so.
