I agree that developers should be given a lot more space then they are given today however: - I think it should be constant, not a day every now and then; - I think it should be in the context of their current work; - I think it should be an integral part of product building. I remember reading a nice post from Basecamp [0] about how they structure their work. It felt like a nice way to go about it. > Once a six week cycle is over, we take one or two weeks off of scheduled projects so everyone can roam independently, fix stuff up, pick up some pet projects we’ve wanted to do, and generally wind down prior to starting the next six week cycle. Ample time for context switching. We also use this time to firm up ideas that we’ll be tackling next cycle. More on this in a bit.
