Query: Improving Productivity through Corporate Hackathons: A Multiple Case
  Study of Two Large-scale Agile Organizations   Software development companies organize hackathons to encourage innovation.
Despite many benefits of hackathons, in large-scale agile organizations where
many teams work together, stopping the ongoing work results in a significant
decrease in the immediate output. Motivated by the need to understand whether
and how to run hackathons, we investigated how the practice affects
productivity on the individual and organizational levels. By mapping the
benefits and challenges to an established productivity framework, we found that
hackathons improve developers' satisfaction and well-being, strengthen the
company culture, improve performance (as many ideas are tested), increase
activity (as the ideas are developed quickly), and improve communication and
collaboration (because the social network is strengthened). Addressing
managerial concerns, we found that hackathons also increase efficiency and flow
because people learn to complete work and make progress quickly, and they build
new competence. Finally, with respect to virtual hackathons we found that
developers work more in isolation because tasks are split between team members
resulting in less collaboration. This means that some important, expected
hackathon values in virtual contexts require extra effort and cannot be taken
for granted.
