Targeted analysis of computer science domain studies within the review. The review found "only two works" on software project management games: X-MED, a single-player software measurement game, and DELIVER!, a group board game on Earned Value Management.

"In the field of evaluation of serious games for software project management, we have only found two works. One of the works (Von Wangenheim, Thiry, & Kochanski, 2009) assesses a computer-based educational game prototype on software measurement called X-MED."
