Breaking ice... Let's focus in relation with software products & applications Gamification is, applying the game design principles to non-game applications for enhancing user engagement, productivity, quick learning & user gathering, socializing. Leaderboard is a scoreboard to show the status of players or competitors playing the game (not just the game in our context). Helps recognition of leaders (in multiple sections & areas).
