Financial metrics are necessary to inform decisions about the beginning or continuity of a software development project to justify investments. This research discuses initial ROI (Return on Investment) estimates in a software project using Scrum and how to analyze variations in the initial calculations to make return on investment decisions during partial deliveries of the product. The case study included a survey, a review of documentation, two focus group sessions, and an exercise involving application of the proposed technique. Twenty-four professionals participated, of which 4 were Scrum trainers (17%), 4 were officials of the company where the estimation technique was applied (17%), and 16 were project managers of domestic and foreign software development companies (66%), all of whom had experience in project management. This study provides elements to be considered in future research on ROI calculation in projects using Scrum, and can be used as a guide to estimate and review financial metrics during the execution of an actual project.
Las metodologías para el desarrollo de videojuegos serios es un tema sumamente nuevo, como consecuencia de esto se ha dado pie a la improvisación y a una falta de estandarización a la hora en que estos son desarrollados, por esta razón se decidió elaborar una revisión de literatura de las metodologías para el desarrollo de videojuegos serios y así poder determinar su estado. Han sido pocas las publicaciones con respecto a este tópico, entre sus principales hallazgos se obtuvo información de cómo algunas compañías elaboran los videojuegos serios, entre las recomendaciones se mencionan los diseños centrados en el usuario, las metodologías ágiles, modelos holísticos, modelos basados en paradigmas y centrados en necesidades específicas. Este trabajo brinda la oportunidad de contar con una referencia cuando se pretenda desarrollar un videojuego serio y que así el equipo a cargo decida cual metodología de las ya encontradas se ajusta mejor a las necesidades. The methodologies for the development of serious videogames is a very new subject, as a result of this, improvisation and a lack of standardization have been given at the time these videogames are developed; for this reason, it was decided to elaborate a literature review of the methodologies for the development of serious video games and determine their status. There have been few publications regarding this topic; among their main findings there is information on how some companies develop serious video games; the recommendations mentioned include user-centered designs, agile methodologies, holistic models, models based on paradigms and focused on specific needs. This work provides the opportunity to have a reference to support serious videogames development, so the team in charge can decide which methodology of those found is best suited for their needs.
