对于组织来说，黑客马拉松已经成为一种越来越受欢迎的方式，既可以测试他们的新产品和服务，也可以产生新的想法。大多数活动要么专注于吸引外部开发人员，要么要求组织的员工专注于一个特定的问题。在本文中，我们描述了这种模式的扩展，向内部员工开放活动，并保留了黑客马拉松本身的开放性。在这篇文章中，我们描述了我们开展内部黑客马拉松的最初动机和目标，我们在AT&T开创内部黑客马拉松的经验，包括我们为使内部黑客马拉松成功所做的具体事情。最后，我们总结了我们从内部黑客马拉松方法中获得的好处（包括预期的和意外的），以及在AT&T内部继续使用这个有价值的工具的建议。
Hackathons have become an increasingly popular approach for organizations to both test their new products and services as well as to generate new ideas. Most events either focus on attracting external developers or requesting employees of the organization to focus on a specific problem. In this paper we describe extensions to this paradigm that open up the event to internal employees and preserve the open-ended nature of the hackathon itself. In this paper we describe our initial motivation and objectives for conducting an internal hackathon, our experience in pioneering an internal hackathon at AT&T including specific things we did to make the internal hackathon successful. We conclude with the benefits (both expected and unexpected) we achieved from the internal hackathon approach, and recommendations for continuing the use of this valuable tool within AT&T.
