Abstract

As seen in the specialized literature, during the implementations of a Software Process Improvement (SPI) program, many cases of failure occur, caused on a recurring basis by problems and difficulties in SPI. In view of this, the need to adopt strategies and approaches to support the implementation of such initiatives is noticeable. Thus, the use of gamification in the context addressed can allow us to define mechanisms that drive people's motivation and commitment to the development of tasks in order to stimulate and accelerate the acceptance of an SPI initiative. In this context, this work aims to present strategies for using elements of gamification, present in the Octalysis Framework, regarding the treatment of the problems and difficulties evidenced. The strategies developed must be seen as possible solutions to be used by organizations to assist them when they encounter situations, in which SPI problems occur.
