1. Give some examples of the kinds of activities you are likely to find in each of the phases of knowledge maturing? What artefacts are produces or used with these activities?

The knowledge maturing process model structure uses five phases:
- Expressing ideas. For example in the Software Company the sales department produces new ideas which kind of software to develop. The ideas mainly come from the customers of the company.
- Distributing in communities. The idea should be developed further, the professional opinion of programmers, software architects, analysts etc is needed. To have the distributed knowledge, common picture about the topic, are used blogs or even company's intranet based wiki or forums for example.
- Formalizing. The needed software is programmed, by management and customer coordinated. Prototypes are programmed.
- Ad-hoc learning. The costumer has tested prototypes and given the feedback to The Software Company. Documentations, manuals for software usage are produced during this phase.
- Standardization. The real software is produced and customer is satisfied and contract of software development is closed.

Based on the previous theory can be developed additionally new theories, softwares, teaching materials etc.

Company based blogging, wiki or wikis, tagging services, Web 2.0 etc
