Understanding of Gamification in Product Engineering – A Systematic Literature Review

This publication explores the use of gamification in product engineering, focusing on its role in product engineering processes (PEP). Through a systematic literature review, two primary uses are identified: adaptation of PEP methods and support for product design. Analysis also reveals that gamification, using game design elements in nongame contexts, predominantly aims to boost user motivation and engagement. An understanding of gamification in product engineering, highlighting its potential to transform PEP and design practices by enhancing user engagement and motivation, is proposed.
