Implementing IOT in Effective Project Management

The Internet of Things (IoT) can revolutionize project management by allowing devices to communicate and share data, automate tasks, and improve communication and coordination among team members. However, this comes with challenges, such as data security and privacy, interoperability, and managing the complexities of IoT systems. This research proposes identifying the benefits and shortcomings of using IoT in project management and identifying solutions and best practices for implementing and managing IoT systems in this context. The research was conducted through semi-structured interviews on questionnaires. The research found that IoT can offer significant benefits in project management, including cost reduction, increased efficiency, and improved communication and coordination. However, these benefits can only be realized if data security and privacy challenges, interoperability, and system complexity are addressed through careful planning, design, and management. Key lessons include considering the end-to-end user experience, carefully managing data and devices, and properly testing the system.
