The document discusses managing knowledge networks in hybrid project environments. It addresses why hybrid environments exist, how knowledge is transmitted through such projects via artifact and social networks, and what strategies can be used to manage knowledge networks, such as value stream management and continuous performance management. The document provides context on key topics like knowledge, epistemology, predictive vs agile approaches, and network enabling factors like trust and reciprocity.
