“…From the SHF associated with software development productivity and identified by [11], we select those to be promoted by Interplanetary Mission to decrease the change resistance causes identified in the application context. Commitment : This factor refers to the level of responsibility that a person is willing to assume in their tasks with their work team. It is important to highlight that the team must accomplish different goals in the project scope. Motivation: This factor moves the person towards action [28].…”

“…SHF are fundamental in the software development process [8]. They are considered critical factors for the success of SPI [9, 10] and influence the productivity of the work team [11]. Morales‐Aguiar and Vega‐Zepeda [9] identified the factors such as Management Commitment, Staff Involvement, Role Responsibility, and SPI Awareness as human factors that influence SPI.…”

Best practices of software development and software process improvement (SPI) are people-centred. Both have a high level of influence of social and human factors inherent to the individuals involved in these processes. At the same time, software process improvement is inherent to the change of the conditions and the behaviour of individuals. In this work, the authors show the results of applying a deductive approach for a method based on gamification and social and human factors to influence the productivity of the software development team. The results show that it is possible to abstract all the design aspects of an existing strategy called Interplanetary Mission and identify the social and human factors involved in change resistance in SPI initiatives. The strategy execution results show that gamification strategies could help to mitigate change resistance in SPI initiatives for software development teams and their productivity, understanding this term in software engineering context as the ratio between output and input within the software development production process.

Of course, it should be taken into account that human factors or soft skills have a strong impact on the development team's productivity [21], IT project teams [8], and IT project complexity [26].…”

Software companies need to measure their productivity. Measures are useful indicators to evaluate processes, projects, products, and people who are part of software development teams. The results of these measurements are used to make decisions, manage projects, and improve software development and project management processes. This research is based on selecting a set of measures related to social and human factors (SHF) that influence productivity in software development teams and therefore in project management. This research was performed in three steps. In the first step, there was performed a tertiary literature review aimed to identify measures related to productivity. Then, the identified measures were submitted for its evaluation to project management experts and finally, the measures selected by the experts were mapped to the SHF. A set of 13 measures was identified and defined as a key input for designing improvement strategies. The measures have been compared to SHF to evaluate the development team's performance from a more human context and to establish indicators in productivity improvement strategies of software projects. Although the number of productivity measures related to SHF is limited, it was possible to identify the measures used in both traditional and agile contexts.
