Abstract

We present an application of Blockchain technology and Smart Contracts to the management of Agile projects, using Scrum or Lean-Kanban processes. In our application the duties of the Product Owner for certifying the correctness of the outcomes are delegated to one or more Smart Contracts deployed on the Ethereum Blockchain and written in Solidity. An agreement with the Customer can also allow the Smart Contracts to automatically enable payments, to introduce penalties or grants on the basis of the outcome. Product Owner duties and work can thus be relieved allowing to allocate resources on more profitable and productive tasks. Other possibilities are examined as well.
