Innovation and Sustainability with Gold Cards
Today on java.net, Dan Steinberg had a post entitled
Recharging your Batteries. It was mostly a reflection on taking some time off to recharge / sharpen the saw / whatever, using the theme of the East Coast blackouts as a hook. He referred to a paper from AgileUniverse 2001 called Innovation and Sustainability with Gold Cards.
Gold cards are a simple idea. Every developer on an XP project is issued 2 gold cards per month. The cards allow the developer one day of work on a topic of their choice. You can read the article for the rest of the details, but I think that this is a great practice that can help keep people energized, enthusiastic, and thinking of the bigger picture.
