Kick Start Innovation with FedEx Days
Every quarter Atlassian gives employees the chance to work on anything that relates to our products and ship it within 24 hours - hence the name, FedEx Day.
Find other companies that have run a FedEx day and learn why innovation activities such as FedEx Days are great for cultivating a brilliant company culture.
Develop Innovative Ideas with 20% Time
20% Time provides individuals and teams extended time to think 'outside the box'. Atlassians can take one day a week or accrue days and take a block of time to work on their own project.
This time is often spent on ideas that an individual or team are passionate about, but that never made it to the product backlog.
Before taking the leap and introducing 20% Time you may wish to kickstart a culture of innovation by playing an Innovation Game with a group of customers.
Prototype and Test Ideas
Prototypes allow you to quickly get feedback from customers and iterate to deliver a brilliant user experience. Usability testing via paper prototypes is one low cost way to gather this feedback.
Of course, there are also product teams which go straight to higher fidelity prototypes or in-product spikes.
