The article seeks to identify the creation of knowledge in complex adaptive systems (CAS) within project management organizations (PMOs). To that end, we reviewed the results of some research work that was published in academic journals, which have made a comparative contribution of the conceptualization and characterization of CAS in organizations. From there, we present the hypothesis about understanding the importance of knowledge as CAS in PMOs and understanding its relation with maturity models, as a tool for managing capacities in multi-agent environments that interact as complex systems in non-linear environments.
