Abstract
The primary objective of this paper is to conduct a systematic literature review to analyse
contemporary scientific literature to determine a list of blockchain IT system implementation critical
success factors. Scientific literature is available for the critical success factors that are impacting implementation
for IT projects in general; however, it is of scientific and practical importance to whether
these factors and their influence change when it comes to blockchain projects and even to determine
does some additional critical success factors impact the success of the blockchain information system
implementation in the smart cities.
Keywords
Blockchain, Smart city, Project management, Information systems, Sustainability.
