Reuse of the project knowledge that is generated or acquired during projects is a factor that leads project based organizations to be more effective, efficient and successful. Project knowledge in the Information Network Security Agency is collected and saved manually, and it is not used properly. As a result, the project knowledge is not easily available for reuse, in order to reduce project rework and reinventing the wheel. The general objective of the research was to propose knowledge management framework to improve project knowledge reuse within the organization so that an organization will be able to successfully retain knowledge management practice and decrease chances of project rework. As a case study the researcher used Information Network Security Agency. Data was collected using questionnaire, observation and document review. This process set the foundation to identify INSA’s current project management with the areas of improvement. Subsequently, these areas of improvement enabled to design a project knowledge reuse framework based on design science research methodology (which incorporates problem identification, objective, design, demonstration, evaluation), As a first step of design science research methodology process problem identification is done by analyzing questionnaire. Then the study proposed a prototype to demonstrate the proposed project knowledge reuse framework with components of the framework. This study has significant implications for project stakeholders. The paper identifies and analyzes the causes and impacts of not using previous project knowledge also the study indicated that project managers, team leaders and team members should consider using previous project knowledge and then the study proposed the appropriate project knowledge reuse framework in order to mitigate the problem.enKnowledge ManagementProject ManagementProject Based OrganizationsProject Knowledge Reuse FrameworkThesis
