KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER IN A PROJECT ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. In at least one processing device, a method comprising:
- identifying, based on artifacts concerning a project stored in at least one repository, a plurality of tasks concerning the project;
identifying, from among the plurality of tasks, at least one participant-related task relevant to a transitioning project participant;
determining, for each of the at least one participant-related task, whether the participant-related task requires knowledge transfer to provide at least one knowledge transfer task; and
storing information identifying the at least one knowledge transfer task.

Abstract
Various techniques for effecting knowledge transfer are provided. In one embodiment, knowledge transfer tasks are identified through parsing of one or more repositories comprising project-related artifacts to ascertain tasks that are relevant to a transitioning project participant, and that may be further analyzed to determine whether knowledge transfer is necessary. In a similar vein, knowledge transfer recipients may be identified through similar parsing of the one or more repositories to identify project participants that are relevant to knowledge transfer tasks, with the resulting list of associated project participants narrowed down to selected knowledge transfer recipients according to their respective ability/availability to receive the knowledge transfer. Because these processes can be automated, including the use of an interactive interface, and based on stored artifacts, the subjectivity and variability of prior art techniques may be substantially reduced.
