Gamification is a research field that is intended to increase motivation, so it is especially indicated in human capital intensive environments such as the software industry. Within Software Engineering, one of the main issues regarding software process improvement (SPI) is personnel motivation in specific SPI initiatives. These issues are stronger...
Conference Paper
Gamification is intended to increase engagement and motivation among its users by means of a set of game design elements. This field of study has expanded in popularity in the recent years in several areas needed to improve engagement among their actors. One of this areas is software engineering. This discipline is a human-centric activity needed o...
Conference Paper
Virtual reality (VR) has challenged the way we perceive the world and user experience is being explored to achieve an immersive and effective experience. However, the commercial effects and impact of this technology lacks sufficient research. It is hence uncertain which role virtual reality has in information systems nowadays. This systematic liter...
Conference Paper
Human factors are important in order to achieve outcomes which are consistent and aligned with organizational strategies and values. However, understanding how to successfully deal with human factors involved in a Quality Management System is a challenging issue. Therefore, there is a need to move beyond traditional mechanisms to manage human aspec...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
The software development industry is dominated by a myriad of smaller organizations world-wide, including very small entities (VSEs), which have up to 25 people. Managing software process is a big challenge for practitioners. In 2011, due to the VSEs’ increasing importance, a set of ISO/IEC 29110 standards and guides were released. Although other i...
Article
One of the main reasons for failure in Software Process Improvement (SPI) initiatives is the lack of motivation of the professionals involved. Therefore, motivation should be encouraged throughout the software process. Gamification allows us to define mechanisms that motivate people to develop specific tasks. A gamification framework was adapted to...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Motivation is one of the main obstacles for every organization. In software processes, where people are key, this aspect is even more critical. In this paper, authors present Gamiware, a gamification platform aimed to increase motivation in software projects. Grounded on both gamification roots and in software process improvement initiatives, it mi...
Article
Full-text available
For any Software Process Improvement (SPI) initiative to succeed human factors, in particular, motivation and commitment of the people involved should be kept in mind. In fact, Organizational Change Management (OCM) has been identified as an essential knowledge area for any SPI initiative. However, enough attention is still not given to the human f...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Software is a cornerstone in the development of societies. In software process improvement initiatives, change management has been identified as one of the crucial areas to manage. Top managers are also crucial in software process improvement and their commitment and support is key to obtain the benefits of a better and leaner software process. Gam...
Article
Full-text available
Motivation is a critical success factor for software projects. Knowing the motivating factors capable that lead to the improvement of the performance of software development teams is one of the main challenges of managing software engineering worldwide. Gamificación enables the definition of mechanisms that channel the motivation of people to enhan...
