Application And Research Of Knowledge Management In R&D Of Software

Science and technology development makes society enter the times of Knowledge Economy. In the times, knowledge has become intrinsic and kernel factor instead of "external variation" for the increasing of economy. Therefore, how to use and manage knowledge (or intelligence) effectively becomes main issue in the research field of management science in the times. Knowledge Management, this new thought is just produced and developed conforming to the developing trend of the times. It is an innovation of management model, an inevitable trend of social economy development.Knowledge is the core of Knowledge Management, which idea is to continuously manage various types of knowledge, to provide assistance for transformation of explicit and tacit knowledge, for sharing knowledge, and to satisfy the needs of continuous changes, finally to bring forth new idea using owned and obtained knowledge resources. The content of Knowledge Management includes such kinds of management activities as obtaining, arranging, storing, renewing, applying, assessing, transforming, sharing and creating knowledge. And using the complex effect of producing, accumulating, exchanging and application management of knowledge in each field, it makes knowledge become capital and product. Bringing forth new idea is the main melody of Knowledge Management, which lays particular emphasis on making a relationship between information, human and process, it fully shows the distinction different from information management or other management ways.At first, this paper makes a systematic exposition of content, feature, principle, function and method of Knowledge Management, and forms theory base for the research of the paper. Then, it applies ideas and methods of Knowledge Management into software development. R&D of software (or software development) is a typically creative job, which product and service embody themselves with the shape of knowledge, and obtaining, storing, transferring, using and creating knowledge run through the whole process of software development. The paper deeply dissects the technological process of software development as well as content and.feature in everystage. It also indicates emphasis and necessity, feasibility, condition and step of Knowledge Management practice. Based on the analysis mentioned above, the paper creatively constructs a model of Knowledge Management system for software development. Using the technique support of IBM Lotus Knowledge Management resolution scheme, it demonstrates the practice feasibility of the system.At the end of this paper, based on the case of software development organization in JinShiDaWeiNing company, it systematically summarizes some ideas of Knowledge Management and some ways needed to be modified in routine duties, it also puts forward train of thought and method for the organization to improve and develop Knowledge Management.
