What is knowledge management like at different levels in a project environment?

What is knowledge management (KM) like at different levels in a project environment? How is knowledge managed at a personal level? In an individual project? In programmes and portfolios? Across organisations? And how does it all fit together?

When we talk about managing knowledge in project environments, it covers everything from detailed knowledge needed for a specific task in a single project to knowledge needed by a whole organisation and its stakeholders. Thats a lot of knowledge!

The APM Knowledge SIG (K SIG) hosted an event in March 2013 that explored KM practices at some of these different levels. It looked to answer the questions;

Do we need different approaches, methods and roles?
And how do we make sure all our KM efforts fit together?
