“…There is usually a member who is called a scrum master who is responsible for dealing with team problems [8]. Dingsoyr et al [16] investigate the characteristics of Scrum by collecting empirical data from a project based on a small cross-organizational development. Their study indicates that Scrum helps to control the development process by increasing motivational factors.…”

Original scientific article In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in tailoring agile development methodologies by combining different agile practices. The adoption of such a balancing approach requires a systematic customization of best practices among agile methodologies. This paper presents an empirical case study for adopting a hybrid Scrumban methodology with an integrated gamification approach, which was conducted in the context of a small-medium enterprise (SME). First, we conducted a focus group to better understand the potential inquiries that might have been useful to improve the development process. Secondly, we employed a cross-sectional survey approach to explore the company personnel's opinions regarding the changes in the process. The survey data was collected from 30 practitioners who were working for the same project in a software development organization in a technology research centre. The descriptive statistics were calculated with paired sample t-tests being used to compare for integration process that contains three stages (i) initial stage, (ii) Scrumban stage, (iii) Scrumban with integrated Gamification stage. The preliminary results of this research support the idea that a set of game elements can be integrated with a hybrid software development methodology to enhance individual and organizational productivity.Keywords: game-based agile software development; gamification; Scrumban; software process improvement Gamifikacijski pristup s integriranom Scrumban metodologijom u poboljšanju razvoja softvera: turska analiza slučajaIzvorni znanstveni članak Zadnjih je godina povećan interes za razvoj agilnih razvojnih metodologija spajanjem raznih agilnih tehnika. Prihvaćanje takvog balansirajućeg pristupa zahtijeva sistematsko prilagođavanje najboljih tehnika među agilnim metodologijama. U radu je predstavljena empirijska analiza slučaja za povezivanje hibridne Scrumban metodologije s integriranim pristupom gamifikacije, koji je proveden u okviru malog-srednjeg poduzeća (SME). Najprije smo odabranu grupu upoznali s mogućim upitima, korisnim za poboljšanje razvojnog procesa. Zatim smo jednom preglednom anketom istražili mišljenja osoblja poduzeća o promjenama u postupku. Dobili smo odgovore 30 zaposlenih na istom projektu u organizaciji koja se bavi razvojem softvera u centru za tehnološka istraživanja. Opisni statistički podaci dobiveni su odgovarajućim t-testovima upotrijebljenim kako bi se usporedio postupak integracije koji se sastoji od tri stadija: (i) početni, (ii) Scrumban stadij, (iii) Scrumban s integriranim Gamificacijskim stadijem. Preliminarni rezultati tog istraživanja podržavaju ideju da se niz elemenata igre može uključiti u hibridnu metodologiju razvoja softvera kako bi se povećala pojedinačna i organizacijska proizvodnost.Ključne riječi: agilni razvoj softvera zasnovan na igri; gamifikacija; poboljšanje razvoja softvera; Scrumban

Abstract-Scrum does not provide any direction about how to engineer a software product. The project team has to adopt suitable agile process model for the engineering of software. XP process model is mainly focused on engineering practices rather than management practices. The design of XP process makes it suitable for simple and small size projects and not appropriate for medium and large projects. A fine integration of management and engineering practices is desperately required to build quality product to make it valuable for customers. In this research a novel framework hybrid model is proposed to achieve this integration. The proposed hybrid model is actually an express version of Scrum model. It possesses features of engineering practices that are necessary to develop quality software as per customer requirements and company objectives. A case study is conducted to validate the proposal of hybrid model. The results of the case study reveal that proposed model is an improved version of XP and Scrum model.
