A Checklist for Using the Spotify Model
Adopting the Spotify Model is more than renaming your teams to squads. Download our free checklist for the top 25 cultural elements of the Spotify Model.
Previously I posted about some of the great information that has come out of Spotify’s agile journey including the top 10 Spotify Graphics from Henrik Kniberg. I also wrote about how the Spotify Model is not an agile method and it certainly isn’t a scaling approach.
In that post, I identified 25 top cultural elements of Spotify’s approach. My point was that simply renaming your teams to squads would be meaningless and unproductive; it is the culture change that made Spotify, Spotify.
I have extended that analysis of the Spotify approach and created a simple Checklist of the Spotify Model you can use to gauge your adherence to the so-called Spotify Model. You can use this checklist of the Spotify Model to determine if your culture is anything like Spotify’s.
