Abstract : Blockchain together with Agile Scrum methodologies provides one of the up and coming means to incorporate adaptability into the project by utilising the Agile Scrum framework associated with the decentralised and secure structure of Blockchain technology. The purpose of this paper is to reveal possibilities which are given by the implementation of Blockchain in Agile project environments, with an emphasis made on vendor management and successful project implementation. Through the use of Blockchain’s distributed ledger, smart contracts, and secured data, Agile groups can get higher responsibilities, enhanced efficiency, and cohesion within the groups and with the stakeholders. The paper begins by presenting an introduction to Blockchain, its application with Agile Scrum, and a framework with the objective of improving project management through the optimisation of transparency and operation in real time. Furthermore, the paper explores the oddities and constraints, including technical issues, uptake hurdles, and legal factors. In this study, context and validity of the integration are established through an extensive literature review in an effort to promote Blockchain as a revolutionary tool for Agile project management.

Keywords : Agile Scrum, Blockchain Technology, Project Execution, Transparency, Smart Contracts, Vendor Coordination.
