Megaprojects face many pathologies and challenges to provide the attended impacts. These pathologies contribute to overshadow the results and outcomes needed by those who promote these kind of projects. So, we need to understand and assess properly the dynamics related to megaprojects. To overcome this situation, we present a new way to analyse megaprojects based on a knowledge benchmarking process framework.Keywords
Megaprojects, Communities of Practice, Benchmarking, Knowledge Management.
