This chapter tackles the difficulty of implementing agile methodologies in enterprises, especially for teams who are used to traditional working methods. Therefore, this work attempts to provide ways to engage better and motivate team members to embrace the use of agile methodologies. One such way has considered using gamification or serious games principles with agile/scrum activities. The main contribution of the present work is threefold. First, it provides a novel blended approach that combines agile principles with gamification mechanics and gameplay. Second, an adaptation approach is provided to adapt all gamification aspects such as gamification purpose and fun applied to agile/scrum activities to consider the enterprise's context, the specificities of the project, and those of the working teams. Finally, the proposed approaches have been instrumented through a mobile app. Experimentation of the approaches allowed the authors to draw interesting findings.
