the project. This achievement has three thresholds/medals
defined to the percentual of acceptance: Bronze
(50%); Silver (75%); and Gold (100%).
2) Artifact Achievements:
• Sprint Backlog Completion (SBC). SBC is a repetition
achievement that accounts for the number of sprints
where all the item in the Sprint Backlog were developed.
The achievement has 3 levels: Level 1 (>= 1); Level 2
(>= 3); and Level 3 (>= 10).
• Sprint Review Acceptance (SRA). SRA is a team rate
achievement that accounts for the number of accepted
items by the PO in a review meeting compared to the
total of items from the backlog of the current sprint. For
this achievement three thresholds/medals were defined to
the percentual of acceptance: Bronze (50%); Silver
(75%); and Gold (100%).
3) Cerimony Achievements:
• Clockwork Developer (CD). CD is a rate individual
achievement that accounts for the number of tasks a
developer finished compared to the total number of tasks
in an sprint. For this achievement three thresholds/medals
were defined to the percentual of acceptance: Bronze
(50%); Silver (75%); and Gold (100%).
• Clockwork Team (CT): CT is a repetition team achievement
that accounts for the number of tasks finished by the
team in a Sprint, on the planned time (with difference up
to 20%). The achievement has 3 levels: Level 1 (>= 1);
Level 2 (>= 3); and Level 3 (>= 10). The Clockwork
Developer and Clockwork Team achivements are classified
as cerimony achievements because the success to
accomplish a task on the planned time is associated to a
well done planning.
• Daily Scrum Developer Presence (DSDP). DSDP is an
indivual rate achievement that accounts for the number
of participations of each developer at standups during a
Sprint compared to the total of days of each Sprint. For
this achievement three thresholds/medals were defined to
the percentual of acceptance: Bronze (50%); Silver
(75%); and Gold (100%).
• Daily Scrum Team Realization (DSTR). DSTR is a
team rate achievement that accounts for the number of
days that a daily scrum meeting was performed by the
team compared to the total number of days of a Sprint.
For this achievement three thresholds/medals were defined
to the percentual of acceptance: Bronze (50%);
Silver (75%); and Gold (100%).
• Sprint Latency (SL). SL is a repetition achievement
that accounts for the number of sprints started after a
sprint end within a maximum time gap of 24 hours.
The achievement has 3 levels: Level 1 (>= 1);Level
2(>= 3); and Level 3 (>=10).
B. Results and Analysis
The evaluation performed has considered four achievements:
one rate achievement for individual developers and
three repetition team achievements.
As mentioned before, we used historical data to compute the
aforementioned achievements and award a selection of four
project teams, comprising a total of 16 developers, during a
time frame ofsevenmonths, which encompasses from nine
to twelve Sprints from these four projects. The difference in
the total amount of sprints for each project exists because
each team can eventually work with different time boxes, also
having time gaps among iterations.
The result of the clockwork developer achievement award
is shown in Table I. There is the indication of the number
of medals that would be earned by each developer, according
with his project. The developers could have earned up to ten
gold medals in the considered period. From the analysis, we
can observe that an individual developer would win earn up
to seven medals. At least one medal will be earned for each
developer.

INDIVIDUAL RESULTS FOR THE CLOCKWORK DEVELOPER ACHIEVEMENT,
GROUPED BY PROJECT: TOTAL MEDALS EARNED BY EACH DEVELOPER
DURING THE SPRINTS CONSIDERED IN THE PRELIMINARY EVALUATION.
Table II shows the levels registered for each team considering
the Clockwork Team achievement. All project teams
reached at least the Level 1. This means that all teams
completed at least one sprint on time. Projects II and III
completed two sprints on the time among nine and twelve
sprints respectively, but this fact did not assure a level update.
Only Project I reached Level 2, since it has completed six
sprints on time.
Table III shows the levels registered for Sprint Backlog
Completion achievement. Only Project IV did not reach the
Level 2. The Project II team completed all the sprint backlog
six times, from nine possible times. It is the best team in this
criteria, however it did not reach the Level 3.
