Every day we seek to be more competitive and responsive to the market, and one way to achieve this is through knowledge management and the use of information technologies.In the current competitive, globalized and changing context, the greatest value of a company is centered on its skills that make it different from others, especially its acquired or generated knowledge, that is, intellectual capital. The speed with which ideas are born, compete and die leads to the need to manage organizations differently, focusing this management on the intellect of the individuals in the organization.The proposed methodology consists of three general stages and a series of steps that contemplate diverse aspects such as; knowing the work procedures in the development of new products, identification of key products and processes, auditing the knowledge in the development of new products, analysis of the results, the elaboration of a final report where the results of the knowledge audit are shown and an orientation for the use of the same.
