The Spotify model is an approach for scaling agile that emphasizes autonomy, simplicity, and collaboration. It structures teams into small cross-functional Squads that focus on delivering features. Squads are supported by Tribes of related Squads, Chapters of specialists, and interest-based Guilds. The key benefits are less control promoting autonomy, collaboration over silos, shared goals creating a fail-safe environment, and no formal processes. Realizing the Spotify model requires focusing on productivity through motivation and environment, balancing autonomy with alignment, enabling system changes, trusting people over commands, servant leadership, and an experimentation culture.
