12:08:40 From Nathan Law : My Data Science development environment uses Microsoft Azure Databricks Python notebooks which is a proprietary binary format. What are the recommended DevOPs CI/CD methods and tools in an Agile environment? 12:10:02 From dsirbu : Hey there, so where do you start when joining an environment where someone thought that the Spotify model is a good idea? 12:10:32 From Ramesh Sharma : Question: Could you talk about how important is organizational culture and how to recognize it to help shape the transformation? 12:11:22 From arnab : Hello, could you please brief on why Spotify came in practice? what the problem they could not solve with other framework? 12:12:13 From Sushant Kanchan : Question: Is there a Spotify guide like we have the Scrum guide? 12:13:33 From Sam Wu : Any idea of how spotify is now performing? 12:16:25 From Tushar Jain : as I understand Spotify Model asks for change in org structure because of process as well as reengineering of product architecture. Is my understanding correct or need some modification? 12:21:06 From Paul Cencula : A straight copy/paste is probably never a good idea for any Agile method (LeSS, SAFe, Scrum@Scale, etc.) So isn't it valid to use the Spotify model as a starting point for an experimental approach, and adjust as needed for the individual organization? 12:22:08 From MKN : Can you define what you mean by "Agile mindset" ? 12:23:03 From dsirbu : Would you happen to have and share an example of a company that started with the Spotify model, realized they were on the wrong path and adapted their models and methods/ 12:29:31 From arnab : what all top business outcomes can be experimented with Spotify? 12:29:32 From Peter : With his focus on having everyone in X-functional teams report to the same manager, I am worried Evan is optimizing for DELIVERY (e.g. velocity and defect elimination) and not getting the RIGHT product to market. If you want product excellence (rather than disruption-susceptible mediocrity) then Communities of Practice for UX, Design, Product Management, etc. often don't cut it. Isn't professional alignment often needed if you want to be the best in a highly competitive market? 12:39:48 From Peter : Note: In the above question, the key to using OKRs is to define them for the PRODUCT team (not the functional team to which a person reports) to make sure people are focused on business/user outcomes. 12:45:51 From A.perez to Gene Gendel(Privately) : Which book? 12:46:37 From Gene Gendel to A.perez(Privately) : https://www.amazon.com/Large-Scale-Scrum-More-Addison-Wesley-Signature/dp/0321985710/ref=asc_df_0321985710/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312140868236&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17873885165811882752&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9004364&hvtargid=aud-801381245258:pla-451119256996&psc=1 12:48:35 From A.perez to Gene Gendel(Privately) : Thank you Gene! 12:48:53 From Sahil : My organization has a lot of functional silos which makes it very hard to be implement Agile - all the teams have their own priorities. I feel the silos needs to be broken. Agile Coaches try their best to explain this to leadership but this somehow is not getting implemented. What are the other options that one can try? 12:49:55 From Srikanth Ramanujam : In reality the OKR should be reflected by the ordering the Product Backlog across teams 12:50:26 From A.perez : “Shared OKRs” vs “OKRs" 12:50:36 From A.perez : over* 12:52:44 From Srikanth Ramanujam : And the misused concept of tying OKR’s to performance measurements :-) 12:53:23 From dsirbu : What metrics have you used in your conversations with the executive teams where Spotify model was seen the way to go... 12:53:32 From A.perez : How do you avoid cascading OKRs? 12:54:14 From Karen Zanetti : What have you seen as the core success reasons for CoPs.? 12:56:27 From Egor Cusmaunsa : What is the case and when we should use Spotify model? 12:57:00 From Egor Cusmaunsa : what is the main benefit of Spotify let say in comparison with LeSS ? 12:57:24 From A.perez : LoL! I’m with you Evan thanks! 12:59:51 From Karen Zanetti to Gene Gendel(Privately) : What is the name of the book for CoP and what is the third Less book or are they the same book? 13:00:50 From Egor Cusmaunsa : could you pls share with us the pdf on Spotify ? 13:01:02 From A.perez to Gene Gendel(Privately) : Awesome chat thank you Gene@! 13:01:23 From Manu Tandon to Gene Gendel(Privately) : Thank you 13:01:27 From dsirbu : Thank you so much!
