Renee and Craig are at the Agile Australia conference and talk to Anders Ivarsson, an organisational coach at Spotify, and learn some of approaches that make Spotify tick:

• Agile Australia talk “Autonomy and Leadership at Spotify” and workshop “Organisational Improvement: Design-inspired Problem Solving”
• Agile Coaches spend time with squads versus a new role of organisational coach that looks at the culture, ways of working, vision and systemic wastes
• Spotify is not a model
• Original Spotify scaling paper, never imagined the spread or the impact
• Spotify have shared a lot of the things that have worked well, but they do also have challenges as well – one is alignment across teams as the organisation gets bigger so they have been working on visualisation and prioritisation
• Spotify Culture videos (Part 1 and Part 2)
• use microservices to ensure that the organisation can work in the way they want to work – great autonomy but a challenge in keeping a consistent design language and customer journey
• Agile culture is spread throughout Spotify, use what works rather than one particular approach
• The Oath of Non Allegiance
• POTLAC – Product Owner / Team Leader / Agile Coach – leadership cell at Spotify
• use internal blogging to share Agile approaches and patterns, started to recognise the value of story telling
• Agile Product Management in a Nutshell video – Henrik Kniberg is a genius at making things simple and understandable
