Thus, organizations should enhance and improve its culture in order to offer an effective knowledge sharing process that leads to project success; thus, address challenges. This paper conducts a systematic literature review of the knowledge sharing challenges within software development team and evaluate the suggested solutions based on the methods used for the selected studies. 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. Recommended framework and solutions have been addressed in this paper based on the results of this systematic review.
