A really fun kind of side project is one that is barely related to your product, yet still in the realm of potential usefulness; something that makes your colleagues say “that’s might be cool, but we’ll never get funding for it”.

Not only are these side projects great fun to do (because of their inherently fun and toy-like nature), they often give you deep insights about your main product, and help widen your team’s imagination of what is possible to implement.
