Explicit Knowledge

Knowledge that can be formally captured and represented using symbols such as words, numbers, diagrams, or images, so it can be documented, stored, and shared.

Key Points

  • Expressed clearly in text, numbers, charts, or pictures.
  • Easy to document, store, version, and retrieve in tools and repositories.
  • Shared through artifacts like manuals, plans, checklists, reports, and databases.
  • Different from tacit knowledge, which is personal and hard to articulate.

Example

The project manager publishes a risk register with probability, impact scores, and response plans in the PMO repository. Team members can search, read, and reuse this documented content across projects.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
