Universities face a permanent process of transformation, so they need to manage internal educational knowledge to accelerate innovation, regardless of their educational modality. However, there are few contributions that address the evaluation of the level of maturity in what they do. Therefore, the questionnaire maturity of knowledge management to innovate in universities was designed and validated. For this purpose, a review of existing instruments was carried out, the questionnaire was designed using a Likert-type structure, which was later analyzed by seven experts, its content was validated by 15 expert judgements with a qualitative-quantitative approach, and it was applied to a pilot group of 15 professors for analysis of comprehension of both items and instructions. The instrument was formed by five dimensions and 48 items. The experts specified improvements and determined the relevance of the dimensions and items; the analysis of Judges evaluation revealed the content validity of items in terms of relevance and writing (V of Aiken> 0.90); the pilot group deemed with a good grade the understanding of instructions, the items and instrument satisfaction with a relevant initial reliability value (Cronbach's alpha: 0.941). It is recommended to apply it to a representative sample for analysis of construct validity, and reliability.
