Abstract:

Blockchain technology has recently been one of the biggest innovations in the project management field, retrospectively opening up a new door towards transparency, security and efficiency during project execution/collaboration. The aim of this study is to investigate the current use of blockchain (if any) within project management practices in Jordan as well as future prospects. We used a quantitative research method with a structured questionnaire that was distributed among project managers, IT professionals, and stakeholders across different sectors. Thus, the goal was to analyze awareness, perceived advantages and disadvantages, and implementation readiness of Blockchain in the project management environment. We analyzed the collected data to find some key trends as well as cultural and practical correlations between blockchain awareness and its use. Results indicate an increasing awareness of use cases, particularly around smart contracts, immutable document tracking, and secure data silo sharing. But there are challenges technical, regulatory, and organizational.
