Description
Summary:A rise in knowledge management has gradually become an essential support to many organizations to reach to their target project management maturity. Most of Yemen’s organization projects failed to deliver the expected service/product due to the lack of integration of the management of knowledge with project management. This study reveals the integration of knowledge management capabilities into project management by developing a novel assessment model. The model was used to examine project management maturity in higher education institutions. A number of 352 respondents, such as project managers and other project members from 10 public universities located in the north and south geopolitical zone of Yemen participated in this study. The result shows that the project knowledge management capabilities are considered as a way of identifying the level of maturity in project management, except the project-based organizational structure and project knowledge conversion capability, where they should have more support and attention by the higher education institutions. Overall, the project management maturity level of the universities in the public sector is 3.1 out of 5, which indicates that the knowledge management capabilities, project management tools and methods have not yet been used effectively in Yemen.
