PM Corporate Knowledge Base

Corporate Knowledge Base

The following are what makes up the organizational knowledge base for storing and retrieving information.

Baselines of the performing organization’s standards, processes, procedures, policies and documentation around the project. It also includes the configuration management databases.
All the financial data–financial databases containing information such as labor hours, costs,  and budgets.

The historical information including lessons learned. That would include project records and documents, all project begin and closure information. Of importance are also documentation, information regarding both the results of previous project, selection decisions, and previous project performance information.

The defect database including current issue and defect management. Documentation around issues and defect status, control information, issue and defect resolution, etc.

Everything about process measurement. Methods and results collected and measurement data on processes and products.

Finally the project files from previous projects (e.g., scope, cost, schedule, and performance measurement baselines, project calendars, project schedule network diagrams, risk registers, planned response actions, and defined risk impact.

This is the bulk of the Corporate Knowledge Base. There may be more or less dependent on the project itself. Each project is individual and will not have the same documents.
