Abstract

Purpose

This paper explores how blockchain technology can enhance information quality within project management information systems (PMIS), thereby positively affecting knowledge management, learning capabilities and project portfolio success.

Design/methodology/approach

We employ a literature review and a theory-based approach to develop a conceptual framework and set of propositions that integrate key principles from blockchain technology, project management and dynamic capabilities theory. Subsequently, a focus group is conducted to refine our propositions, providing insights and examples demonstrating the potential value of blockchain in project management.

Findings

The findings suggest that blockchain significantly impacts the information quality within PMIS. This improvement in information quality enhances traceability, reliability and security of project data, facilitating better decision-making and governance. The focus group revealed blockchain’s benefits in managing confidential data and streamlining knowledge sharing processes, ultimately contributing to project portfolio success.

Originality/value

This research offers a novel conceptual framework and original insights into the application of blockchain in project management, particularly within the context of Industry 4.0, paving the way for future research on digital transformation in project management.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Managing Projects in Business seeks to advance the theory, research and practice of all aspects of project management. IJMPB is looking for top quality theoretical and empirical research with the aims of: promoting the understanding of project management and; encouraging the publication of novel project management insights using multidisciplinary approaches rooted in social sciences. The journal provides a much-needed resource involved in project management by exploring new avenues not often addressed in the field of project management.
