**Last Update**: 25.07.2024 *** It is the series of stages that knowledge moves through on its way to becoming a finished product. The stages vary based on what exactly that finished product is, but can include: - Identifying knowledge - Capturing knowledge - Verifying knowledge - Interpreting knowledge - Organizing knowledge - Categorizing knowledge - Disseminating knowledge - Combining knowledge - Creating knowledge - Using knowledge - Re-evaluating knowledge ![[knowledge-lifecycle.jpeg]] The key feature of these stages is that there are relatively few of them, and they change slowly. The _products_ of creativity are constantly evolving and in flux, but the creative _process_ is ancient and unchanging. By tagging according to the stages of this process, we can facilitate creativity without having to constantly redesign our organizational systems. *** **References**: - [A Complete Guide to Tagging for Personal Knowledge Management](https://fortelabs.com/blog/a-complete-guide-to-tagging-for-personal-knowledge-management/)
