Blockchain-based Task Planning and Management System for Project Management

The use of blockchain technology in project management has not yet been widely explored. Nevertheless, a systematic literature search was conducted. This has shown that there are already initial use cases in which the advantages of this technology can be exploited. In the research results to date, blockchain has been used predominantly in the area of information and document management. However, individual publications have also described its use in task and contract management. This paper recommends to combine these three use cases to a blockchain-based task planning and management system for project management. Therefore a concept for implementing this approach is modeled. For this purpose, various decision criteria were used to investigate on which blockchain platforms these use cases can be applied. Based on the literature research, the selection could already be narrowed down to four platforms. In the end, the EOSIO platform was the best fit for this use case.
