The purpose of this article was to compare the research findings of McNealy’s (2017) dissertation titled, Knowledge Management Practice Strategies in Project-Based Organizations, to the research findings of 2017 scholarly articles. Knowledge management strategies are vital for effective knowledge sharing within project-based organizations. The findings from McNealy’s dissertation resulted in the six strategies of (a) communication, (b) practices to overcome barriers, (c) centralized resource center, (d) training and development, (e) technology, and (f) informational briefings. The findings from 2017 scholarly articles were comparable to and supported McNealy’s research findings.
