“…Nevertheless, the visualization of the Kanban board is limited to show the development process activities rather than providing sufficient information or useful indications that could help in monitoring the project progress (Aurisch et al, 2019;Alaidaros et al, 2018b).…”

“…As for Guckenheimer and Loje (2012), Kanban allows continuous adjustment, while Scrum relies on team commitment, reviewed at sprint boundaries. In Scrum, the communication focus is verbal, while in Kanban is visual through the use of Kanban board even though it is an overcomplicated board (Aurisch et al, 2019).…”

“…It is a visual process management system that can manage knowledge and work by considering the Just In Time (JIT) delivery approach. The JIT does not overload team members since the Kanban method focuses on removing bottlenecks and waste, as well as reducing waiting times, which lead to the increase of the throughputs amount (Aurisch et al, 2019;Ikonen et al, 2011).…”

In the recent years, the Agile Kanban has emerged as an appropriate method used for managing projects in numerous fields and various settings. Despite getting an increased popularity in the software organizations, the Agile Kanban method still has different challenges that need to be addressed. Therefore, this study aims to concisely explore the current state of the art and latest researches on the Agile Kanban method through conducting an extensive review of the literature. The results of this study carry strong implications and confirm the important need for conducting researches on the Agile Kanban method. It also provides the key challenges and opportunities that can be investigated in future studies. The cross analysis of the results leads to a better understanding of the Agile Kanban method and aids the research teams to address the Kanban limitations and increase its adoption in the software organizations.

“…The Agile methodology comprises seven stages, which are requirement gathering, analysis, design, coding, testing, delivery of partially incremented software and feedback from customer (Sharma, Sarkar, & Gupta, 2012). Although the methodology was traditionally used for software development, agile methodology has been widely used for game development for its flexibility and practicality (Aurisch, Ahmed, & Barkat, 2019;Kasurinen, Palacin-Silva, & Vanhala, 2017). We have incorporated facts about air pollution through narrative storytelling into the game to ensure smooth and seamless gameplay.…”

Air pollution has been on the rise and poses a severe problem that needs the public’s attention and action. There is an urgency to raise awareness about air pollution among the people. Computer games can be used as a medium to raise awareness about topics of interest, such as air pollution. We have conducted an online preliminary survey among public members through random sampling to study their awareness level on air pollution and general opinion about a computer game. From the survey, we have found that the public has inaccurate knowledge about air pollution, and some of them were not aware that they have directly contributed to air pollution as well. The survey has also revealed that there is a need for role-playing game (RPG) educative games for the public. Thus, an edutainment RPG computer game entitled “AirXorcist” was developed using the Agile methodology to raise awareness about air pollution. We have also employed a story-telling method in the game to educate players about air pollution. Two tests, namely pre-game and post-game tests, were conducted to determine whether the game can raise public awareness about air pollution. From the analysis, we obtained the t-test statistics = -7.072 and p-value = -0.000002. The result shows sufficient evidence to suggest that the AirXorcist game has successfully helped relay information and raise public awareness about air pollution.
