- Gamification Applied to Project Management and Agile Methodologies for Fast Development TeamsPublication . Barradas, Gustavo Manuel AlmeidaThe exponential increase of projects in the area of software development along with others has led teams to adhere to agile methodologies. These methodologies aim to guarantee the quality and speed with which the project is developed, and help organize teams to not waste valuable resources. However, every so often it is identified a lack of motivation on the part of developers and managers to adhere to these methodologies, either for social reasons, psychological barriers, or even a lack of motivation in general. To decrease the effects of the adoption problems, solutions such as gamification promise to increase user engagement and motivation. The applied mechanics simulate a fun environment similar to what is found in video games to change the way users look at agile solutions, and overcome their difficulties in adopting them. The created gamified solution was based on the Kanban methodology and simulates how it could be applied in a real professional environment. The objective of this solution is to find the main elements of motivation for users, to facilitate their adoption of these methodologies. Finally, to confirm the applied approach, an evaluation was made through a survey. In the future, the solution should be built and applied in a real work environment, to obtain results in a more detailed way, and thus continuously develop and adapt the solution accordingly.
