“…Yilmaz and O'Connor (2016) identified that gamification in the form of user stories and badges provided a sense of progression and even fun for participants in software development. This led to increases in cooperation and task completion at the individual and organizational levels (Yilmaz & O'Connor, 2016). Similarly, Khanzadi et al (2018) tested the effects of a gamified pay-for-performance system for lean design management of construction teams and found that gamification effectively enhanced team efficiency by removing the non-value-adding tasks from the design processes and motivating design engineers.…”

“…While collection of data at the time of service was suggested as a helpful method to get inputs on the effectiveness of employee training, information on data retention over time should also be considered (Miller et al, 2018). Many researchers suggested a larger sample size to ensure more representativeness and for obtaining statistically significant outcomes (Liu et al, 2018;Mitchell et al, 2020;Scheiner, 2015;Yilmaz & O'Connor, 2016).…”

“…According to Liu et al (2018), gamification brought about an improvement in operational performance in Chinese manufacturing processes by incorporating points, badges, a start-stop button for tasks, and other visual elements to improve "real-time feedback" on operations (p. 43). Yilmaz and O'Connor (2016) identified that gamification in the form of user stories and badges provided a sense of progression and even fun for participants in software development. This led to increases in cooperation and task completion at the individual and organizational levels (Yilmaz & O'Connor, 2016).…”

Gamification integrates game components into contexts such as workplace learning and performance. A decade of research has shown that gamification is prevalent in various settings such as education, healthcare, and business. Recently, gamification has been applied and studied in interventions and contexts related to the field of human resource development (HRD). Given the emerging use of gamification in HRD, this paper undertakes a systematic literature review (SLR) to synthesize existing research on gamification in HRD. This paper identifies four areas where gamification has been studied in HRD: employee learning, task performance, employee wellness, and rising contexts. In addition, this SLR collects and organizes a series of future research directions and offers a set of potential research questions. These future research directions center around four areas of gamification for HRD: designing gamification, influencing factors, experiential outcomes, and sustaining gamification. Implications for HRD practice and research, as well as limitations, are discussed.

“…In 2016, Alqudah and Razali [18] suggested that scaled Agile methodologies are essential for the large scaled software project development where large team with requirement specific expertise are essential to overcome the limitations [43] of existing agile methodologies like XP, DSDM, Scrum and Kanban. Yilmaz and O'Connor [23] performed a cross section survey in technical research and development organizations for the gamification project, as part of their empirical case study in 2016, to get an opinion of technology experts about adoption of a hybrid software development methodology -Scrumban and they carried out as a result that Scrumban helps in improving productivity of individual and organization. Salah et al [9] recommended a hybrid form of agile based frameworks in 2017, to overcome the challenges with Scrum like budget estimation, project delivery and goal achievement.…”

Software Engineering (SE) technologies are emerging day by day and seeking ABPR (Agile Business Process Reengineering) for Software Engineering Management (SEM) frameworks in software development organizations. BPR can enable organizational capabilities to initiate and implement critical change in execution. Under the roof of agile and on the base of empiricism, the Scrum has been proven itself as an ABPR approach for software engineering management in the software development organizations, across the world, by improving productivity, self-organization and collaboration for standard software development processes. Scrum has been leading software project development practices using its own characteristics: Artifacts, Pillars, Values, Events and Roles. But still software project development organizations are facing some issues with their software project development and management processes, like no documentation policy which results into inaccurate estimation, internal states of each work item flowing through the Scrum Board, Sprint tracker and prediction towards goal achievement which can be considered as challenges for Scrum due its limitations as well as Scrum does not allow, any alteration in its rules. Such issues have raised a question against implementation of Scrum and have opened the door for the next level of research to answer the question, how to overcome the limitations of Scrum. Kanban can provide the solution to some of these issues but it can’t provide complete SEM solutions to software Development Organizations. The aim of this research study is empirical analysis about how the formation of hybrid framework Scrumban as an integration of Scrum with Kanban, can resolve challenges of Scrum; using literature reviews, case study reviews, and research surveys; and this research has proposed a conceptual customized Scrumban framework, by keeping Kanban in the center of customization under the bound of Scrum rules. This research also concludes limitations of Scrumban, like project documentation, planning, large scaled project, distributed environment, team capabilities etc.; as each method has its own limitations.

“…System development life cycle is constructed with the various phases to be used in order to develop a good quality system [1][2][3]. Requirement elicitation is an important phase of system development life cycle, since it is the phase where the requirements are elicited and extracted from the stakeholders [4][5][6] Implementing and developing all the elicited requirements is extremely difficult with limited resources such as budget constraints, short schedule, and limited staff power [7,8].…”

Investigation of Requirements Interdependencies in Existing Techniques of Requirements Prioritization

Requirements prioritization (RP) is considered as a key role in producing a successful system by selecting the most important requirements to be released. Requirements interdependencies (RI) is one of the crucial aspects that need to be addressed in RP, since most of the requirements in reality are not independent and have dependencies between each other. Thus, ignoring RI in RP process may lead to produce inaccurate prioritization result which directly impacts the system's success. In spite of this, little is known about the impact of RI, and obviously further research is urgently required to measure the RI in the RP techniques. Hence, this study aims to investigate and analyze the existence and the execution steps of handling RI in the existing RP techniques to improve the performance of techniques in generating accurate result and assist the researchers and practitioners to select the appropriate technique that can handle RI in prioritization process. The findings indicate that, out of 65 techniques, there are only 4 techniques that handle the RI. The result reveals that these four techniques still suffer from issues of manual process and heavily rely on the experts' participation. Proposing a new technique is recommended to overcome the identified limitations.
