Abstract

In this paper we propose to use certain software projects' types as an additional personnel motivating factor. The personnel is a key factor in a company success, therefore management has to motivated workers, give them sometimes challenging and interesting work. Reengineering projects are providing a good chance for such interesting development since usually contain technological and algorithmic shifts and allow developers to expand their skills. The paper revises software reengineering projects, defines how those can be used to motivate personnel and what key benefits of that process are. Finally two companies' cases are described where the personnel motivating reengineering increased productivity of the development team and saved developers for companies since they decided to stay.
