Answer 1

• Maintained repository or database

Question 2

✔ Identify why “seek to understand what we collectively know” contributes to the overall KCS process (PG 31)

Answer 2

It helps to ensure that we don’t spend time solving an issue that has already been solved by someone else. It also helps by giving us access to broader experience of work on similar issues.
