rebelutionary: The Inaugural "Fedex Day" - Atlassian meets Google's 20%: "Widely publicised is each Google engineers 20% playtime - simply put as I understand it, the idea is that each engineer gets to spend 20% of their time working on non-core projects, which might lead to future gains for Google.
Now letting your engineers run wild one day a week sounds very scary indeed to any manager, but its very intriguing. Who knows if it wont work elsewhere? So after an in depth lunch time conversation, we decided wed do an experiment in the office and see how it worked in our development teams.
Thusly born was Fedex Day - a mini, experimental, heavily bastardised, Atlassian version of Googles 20% playtime."
