TALK #2

Title: Gamification journey

Abstract: Once up a time, there were two teams that continuous not started the daily on time, the meetings were a little unfocused, the commitment of the team weren’t high,… They were awareness of this but still they not started to change their behaviours! Actually they identify the problems and come with some good ideas… But nothing worked! So Ricardo Fernandes challenged the scrum masters to use a new idea that he saw on the Scrum Gathering … And then the journey begins using “Gamification”.
