PKMC Module IV study plan

Map the knowledge lifecycle (capture, store, share, apply, retain) onto a real project you have worked on, labelling each stage

Define the distinction between explicit and tacit knowledge and classify ten project artifacts you actually use

Build a personal glossary of 15 core terms spanning knowledge management fundamentals and information organization

Draft a retrieval test: write five questions you would need answered mid-project and note where the answer should live

Compare three organizational schemes (taxonomy, tagging, folder hierarchy) and justify which fits a project repository

Design a metadata schema with at least six fields for project documents, specifying required versus optional

Practice writing search queries that exploit metadata filters to answer three realistic retrieval questions

Identify two failure modes of poor information architecture and describe their project impact

Select appropriate elicitation techniques (interviews, workshops, observation, document analysis) for three different knowledge types

Write a 10-question interview guide aimed at surfacing tacit expertise from a senior practitioner

Draft a facilitation outline for a 60-minute knowledge capture workshop including opening, prompts, and close

List five biases or blockers that suppress honest knowledge sharing in elicitation sessions and a counter for each

Run a mock capture session with a colleague and record structured notes within 48 hours

Convert raw session notes into a reusable knowledge asset with context, decision, and applicability stated

Design a lessons-learned template that separates what happened, why, and what to change next time

Distinguish a lessons-learned entry from an action item and reclassify five examples correctly

Diagnose three barriers to knowledge transfer in a team you know and propose a targeted intervention for each

Outline a communities-of-practice cadence covering purpose, membership, rhythm, and success measures

Draft a plan for a knowledge-sharing session that transfers expertise rather than just presenting slides

Explain how motivation and incentives shape willingness to share and design one low-cost incentive

Trace how a stored knowledge asset would be found and reused at three specific project decision points

Build a reuse checklist that a project manager could apply before starting a new work package

Identify two cases where reusing past knowledge would be wrong and state the conditions that invalidate it

Describe how to embed knowledge checkpoints into a project schedule without adding bureaucracy

Draft a retention and archiving policy covering what to keep, for how long, in what format, and who decides

Define three knowledge roles (owner, curator, contributor) with responsibilities and decision rights

Design two leading indicators of knowledge culture health that a project lead could actually observe

Plan a lessons-learned review meeting agenda that produces decisions, not just discussion

Consolidate weeks 1-7 deliverables into a single reference pack organized by domain

Complete two timed practice sets weighted to the heaviest domains and log every missed concept

Rewrite your weakest ten notes into one-sentence rules you can recall under pressure

Rehearse explaining the knowledge lifecycle and its governance in a five-minute spoken summary
