The document discusses strategies for keeping team morale high in agile environments. It recommends tricks like never stopping learning, friendly competition, and ensuring the team finds their work cool. A key strategy is using a "Doomboard" project dashboard with fun graphics and integration with tools like GitHub and a continuous integration server to track projects, committers, and build status. The Doomboard aims to be fun to build and use while also encouraging learning and a sense of friendly competition within the team.
