“…On the basis of the literature, our past experiences employing the Agon framework within EU projects [1]- [4] (e.g., SUPERSEDE 2 , Lucretius 3 , DEFeND 4 , PACAS 5 , VisiOn 6 , STREETLIFE 7 ), and the lessons learned we derived, we identified key requirements for a design method for gamified software, and proposed the integration of Design Thinking and Agon, as a design method called DTA (Design Thinking & Agon) that meets these requirements. We conducted a preliminary evaluation of DTA with positive results.…”

“…Reflecting on the lessons learned presented in the previous section, which root in literature and practical experiences within EU projects (e.g., SUPERSEDE 2 , Lucretius 3 , DEFeND 4 , PACAS 5 , VisiOn 6 , STREETLIFE 7 ), we identified the following key requirements for designing gamified tool-supported tasks. We discuss them highlighting how they relate to lessons learned.…”

“…The analysis of the literature, the DMGame case study, and experiences performed within EU projects (e.g., SUPERSEDE 2 , Lucretius 3 , DEFeND 4 , PACAS 5 , VisiOn 6 , STREETLIFE 7 ), allowed us to reflect on aspects concerning the gamification of tasks in terms of stimuli and game elements and, more generally, on the need of a structured method allowing to explore in a systematic, but creative, way alternative gamification solutions. We derived the next lessons learned.…”

“…It is worth noting that gamification is different from serious games where game playing is used to create a better understanding of a particular concept in a learning situation (e.g. emergency management training [7]). Although both serious games and gamification help to motivate users of a software application by making usage experience enjoyable, their design processes are different.…”

“…To address the first research objective, we analyze related literature, observations collected during the DMGame case study and other experiences within EU projects (e.g., SUPERSEDE 2 , Lucretius 3 , DEFeND 4 , PACAS 5 , VisiOn 6 , STREETLIFE 7 ), and derive a set of requirements for a suitable gamification design method. We address the second one by analyzing characteristics of existing methods that can be related to the stated requirements of the method.…”

Gamification is increasingly applied to engage people in performing tool-supported collaborative tasks. From previous experiences we learned that available gamification guidelines are not sufficient, and more importantly that motivational and acceptance aspects need to be considered when designing gamified software applications. To understand them, stakeholders need to be involved in the design process. This paper aims to (i) identify key requirements for designing gamified solutions, and ii) understand if existing methods (partially fitting those requirements) can be selected and combined to provide a comprehensive gamification design method. We discuss a set of key requirements for a suitable gamification design method. We illustrate how to select and combine existing methods to define a design approach that fits those requirements using Design Thinking and the Agon framework. Furthermore, we present a first empirical evaluation of the integrated design method, with participants including both requirements analysts and end-users of the gamified software. Our evaluation offers initial ideas towards a more general, systematic approach for gamification design.
