A project is a temporary organization created to help the line organization. This means that the knowledge for a specific project comes from the line organization. When a project starts, the knowledge of what will be accomplished often looks like this. If you doesn’t have access to a line organization that have any previous knowledge about the domain it’s becomes much harder. Then interviewing future end users becomes the only way to secure that you are on the right way.

When the project ends, we have identified many of the things we didn’t know before the start of the project. At the end of a project, it is important to transfer the acquired knowledge back to the line organization or the one that will work with the system. The big challenge is spread the knowledge about why things become in a specific way, often a lot of considerable has been taken into different solutions and when a specific solution is chosen the team often know why it couldn’t be done in 9 out of 10 other probable solutions. Often only How and What are documented and why is forgotten and never documented, and it’s often the question of “why” you comes back for when rebuilding part of the system in future development. The question of how and what are quite easily documented in software development. You can look on the database or the source code. It is therefore a great idea to sum up how you got to the specific solutions after design workshop so the question of why also can be traceable.
