Application of Knowledge Management to System Development

Fujitsu is currently undertaking the project management advocated by PMI Co. of the U.S. based on PMBOK and a development management based on SDEM/SDAS. Given this background, FSI-BOK/PM is set as a practical benchmark for achieving both types of management. To effectively manage projects based on these standards, it is important to share specific development information among management activities supervised by project managers and other leaders, as well as those conducted by all development staff members in order to make these activities practical. For these reasons, Fujitsu is promoting efficient on-site activities to improve software through a mechanism called SolutionNET, which is a knowledge management concept established in 1997 that enables a systematic spiral for restructuring business operations. This paper introduces the implementation of ProjectWEB, which is the support tool used to practice these activities, to system development.
