Foreword
Many organizations today find themselves in the situation that they have introduced Scrum and either didn't really succeed with it or became so successful that they now want to take the next step and ask themselves how to coordinate the work of several teams that can work on the same product.
Strangely enough, both types of organizations seem to have shown great interest in the Spotify experience (often called the Spotify Model or Spotify Framework) in recent times. The former because they often see the framework Scrum
as responsible for their failure, the latter because they believe that the Spotify model might be a suitable step for them.
Even if one should certainly not write this in the preface: both are not right. The former, because the probability of becoming successful with a Spotify approach, if you have already not managed
Scrum, is rather low, because the actual success factor of Scrum, the building of a self-organized, motivated team that takes responsibility and is given the necessary competencies, is maintained or even strengthened in the Spotify model. The latter will hopefully not be successful with the Spotify approach, but based on the experiences of Spotify with their own agile, possibly inspired approach.
Nevertheless: this book is recommended to both groups. The former because it will hopefully help to better understand the importance of the team in any agile approach, the latter because the model presented here will hopefully provide a good starting point for one's own development as an agile organization.
If you know methods and frameworks like Scrum, Kanban or similar, you might assume that these have the character of a blueprint for a successful agile organization. Of course, this is as nonsensical as the fact that the Agile Manifesto is still published in the 2001 version and has not really changed since then, except for translations. This has nothing to do with agility. Nevertheless: most teams think that the most important thing about Scrum are the events, roles, artifacts and rules. This shows that you have not understood the concept of agility. The real heart of Scrum are the values and the pillars of Scrum (transparency - verification - adaptation). This is in no way intended to show that elements of Scrum (events, roles, artifacts and rules) are simply arbitrary and can be exchanged or omitted without consequences.
If you can internalize and understand this idea, then you are at the right point to start using Spotify. You are where the Spotify
