Abstract (2. Language): 
Temporary property of a project addresses knowledge management should be evaluated as an essential effort by project based organizations. Knowledge management is referred strongly to the explicating tacit experiences of organizations. Although several different models proposed by researchers to manage knowledge for project based organizations, literature indicates the models developed disregarding interactions between the project management field and the knowledge management process. To the best knowledge of the authors, this is the first time specifically aimed to provide a hybrid management approach (HMA) to manage knowledge embraced by the people and to manage the process of a project simultaneously, considering the interactions. In this paper after providing several indexes based on a comprehensive literature review, the most effectiveness model is proposed. Analyzing the interactions of the proposed top model and project management body of knowledge in details allowed the researchers to perform providing an effective hybrid approach. A real case study corresponding to the maintenance of aircraft is also provided in this paper to illustrate the effectiveness of HMA numerically.
