This systematic literature review emphasizes on all knowledge sharing challenges and recommend the optimum knowledge sharing solutions based on comparing and contrasting all challenges and barriers gathered from the literature. Data collection is performed, and 9 research papers were found related to the stated objective, which can answer the stated research questions. In our methodology, 37 challenges explored, and 19 suggested solutions were gathered, compared, and discussed in the systematic literature review. Generally, challenges and suggested solutions across all selected studies were structured under four main pillars: individual , technology, project, and organization.
