Motivation
Gamification origins in sports and games. With rewards and competition, users will be motivated to achieve better performance.
Diversity
Among videogames, a lot of other applications using the principle and the dynamics of gamification. Examples are mobile sports apps and intranets.
Measurability
The only requirement is the existence of metrics, which are used for evaluation. In case of a sports app this might be the covered distance of a jogger, or in case of a company this might be the amount of sales.
Gamification also offers the possibility to create a variety of statistics regarding user-efficiency and behaviour.

The choice of elements together with the definition of suitable metrics and analyses is important to achieve a positive effect using Gamification. In worst case a wrong choice can also cause negative effects.
