Explicit knowledge
Project Management Professional glossary · Project Management Professional
Definition
Knowledge that can be codified using words, pictures, and numbers.
Explicit knowledge in plain English
Tools don't adopt themselves — people do. A new process lands like a new phone OS: some users are excited, some are lost, some quietly revert. Explicit knowledge names a people/change pattern so you diagnose the human blocker instead of yelling "just follow the plan." Hold onto this precise job description: Knowledge that can be codified using words, pictures, and numbers. On a stem, name whether Explicit knowledge is about timing, ownership, measurement, or delivery style — then eliminate the answer that borrows a cousin concept from the wrong phase.
