SPaMCAST 273 - Gamification and Process Improvement, Tame the Flow 2 - Steve Tendon

Jan 19, 2014

Check out Software Process and Measurement Cast 273.  The SPaMCAST 273 features our essay on gamification and a new installment of Steve Tedon's column: Tame The Flow.
 

Gamification is a tool to support process improvement.  It is a technique that leverages a player's innate competitive drive to channel their behavior using game mechanisms. The goal is to have individuals, teams, and organizations adopt process changes and then process improvement.


In the second edition of Tame the Flow, Steve and I talk about constraints, bottlenecks and retrospectives. Contact Steve on Twitter @tendon or visit his website at www.tendon.net

For the next few weeks the Software Process and Measurement Cast will include a promo for the "Influential Agile Leader" events led by Johanna Rothman and Gil Broza.  Check out the full details at www.InfluentialAgileLeader.com
