    Using Adapted Version of Hoshin Matrix for Selection of Agile Software Development Processes
    (CEUR-WS, 2018) Akarsu, Z.; Yılmaz, Murat; Metin, O.O.; Kuru, Y.Y.; Yilmaz, M.; Yazılım Mühendisliği
    According to Capability Maturity Model Integration for Development (CMMI-DEV), organizational process performance (OPP) area aims to establish and maintain a quantitative understanding of performance of selected processes. Many organizations have started their agile transformation to leverage the capabilities of their software development processes. In order to measure the effects of agile transformation, it is important to understand to what extent agile methods contribute to business objectives. Hoshin Matrix is a tool that provides a rationale for selecting processes identified for process performance analyses. Moreover, this rationale includes traceability from software development execution to business objectives. This study describes the implementation example of an adapted version of Hoshin Matrix at Huawei Turkey Research and Development Center which aims to establish its organizational quantitative quality and process performance objectives based on a set of business objectives. Our preliminary findings suggest that our OPP design may provide a guideline for software development organizations who are willing to adopt agile transformation and for those who would like to improve their software development processes.

    Towards a Role Playing Game for Exploring the Roles in Scrum To Improve Collaboration Problems
    (Springer international Publishing Ag, 2018) Metin, Ozgun Onat; Gungor, Deniz; Yilmaz, Murat; Akarsu, Zulal
    Scrum is the most popular, useful and lightweight framework based on agile software development philosophy. In particular, software development organizations are willing to transform their software development culture to benefit from its fruitful practices. In addition, it is almost inevitable for the organizations with historical development practices to face many dysfunctions during transformation phase, which is normal and expected. It is important to uncover, analyze and solve these dysfunctions, which may take some time. One of the problems organizations may encounter is the confusion and misapplication of the roles in Scrum. This dysfunction creates problems from task creation, follow-up, taking responsibility to collaboration problems in the project. The goal of this study is to address such situations using an interactive role playing game-based approach among team members to improve collaboration.

    Adopting Augmented Reality for the Purpose of Software Development Process Training and Improvement: an Exploration
    (Springer international Publishing Ag, 2018) Oge, Irem; Orkun, Bora; Yilmaz, Murat; Tuzun, Eray; Clarke, Paul; O'Connor, Rory V.; Ohri, Ipek; O’Connor, Rory V.
    Augmented reality (AR) is a technological field of study that bridges the physical and digital world together with a view to improving user experience. AR holds great potential to change the delivery of software services or software process improvement by utilizing a specific set of components. The purpose of this exploratory study is to propose an integration framework to support AR for improving the onboarding process, notably in introducing new hires to the development process while performing their daily tasks. In addition, it also aims to enhance the software development workflow process using AR. Similar to a GPS device that can guide you from point A to point B, our goal is to create software artifacts like navigation components where software teams may benefit from digitally enhanced working conditions provided using AR. After conducting a review in the literature, we confirmed that there is lack of studies about the combination of augmented reality with software engineering disciplines for onboarding. In this paper, we formalized our approach based on the benefits of AR. Ultimately; we propose an AR-based preliminary model for improving the software development process.

    A Systematic Investigation Into the Use of Game Elements in the Context of Software Business Landscapes: A Systematic Literature Review
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2017) Yilmaz, Murat; Clarke, Paul M.; O'Connor, Rory V.; Olgun, Serhan; O’Connor, Rory V.
    The software development process is a set of socio-technical activities to produce software artifacts in which humans play a crucial role. Since it is a people centric activity, factors such as user motivation, engagement, communication and collaboration might constrain these activities. Therefore, software business organizations stand to benefit from adopting different tools and methods in order to overcome these obstacles and to improve their software business processes. Research has been made to increase software quality and enhance the software development process. Alongside these studies, innovative techniques and concepts are beneficial. As a solution, the notion of gamification (i.e. employing game elements in non-gaming contexts) has been introduced to enhance the software development process and overcome the challenges mostly related to human factors. However, the applicability of game elements in the context of software business landscapes is still a controversial issue and not totally proven as of yet. Numerous studies have been conducted to examine the benefits of gamification and how game elements affect the software development process. Thus, in this paper, a systematic literature review was conducted in order to investigate the application of game elements both in research and industrial levels of software development and as well as in software business landscapes.
