Excerpt from the interview:
"When I joined Typeform, there was 20% time dedicated for personal projects on Fridays. It wasn’t working. People try to do things, but there is always somebody missing, and you lose context from Friday to Friday. 
So we tried a different approach. 
Instead of working on those projects on Fridays, we dedicated the last 10 days of the quarter to them. Suddenly, people got their Fridays back to do their normal work. On the other hand, they dedicate all their attention to their side projects in these dedicated sprints. During the side project sprints,  on Mondays, we kicked off ideas, and had the demo on the second Friday. 
It blew our minds: without even asking, around 60% of the projects were product oriented."
