Gamification for Enhancing Team Productivity in Software Development: A Motivational Framework

Abstract

Teams that make software today usually run into the issue where they are not feeling too pumped or productive. Because of this stuff takes longer to finish and the stuff they make is not as good. To tackle this issue one can investigate improving the work environment, introducing flexible approaches to project management and incorporating gaming aspects to boost staff morale. The focus of this document is on how changing the usual tasks in the style of game tasks will help increase interest and efficiency in groups. It is thought that the introduction of game elements, such as receiving awards, developing a leaderboard and accumulating badges, will make employees more motivated to complete and upload their tasks successfully and efficiently. The aim is to create game-inspired rewards that match the objectives of the team and fit seamlessly into the daily tasks. We'll also tackle the possible downsides like too much rivalry and offer up some top tips for putting things into action in a good way. This study leans on case studies from big names like Microsoft and software (SAP) to show how turning tasks into games can really boost how well teams do.
