Should you follow the Spotify model? Or LeSS? Or SaFe? Or? deciding to implement a model a-priori as the end solution is like providing the answer before knowing the question. Getting to an answer like this is not very smart. Instead, what if you start with the simplest process that works? And then you build it up using Empirical Process Control and a framework that makes transparent to all what to improve. How to go about it? Here are a few thoughts.
How do leaders better judge and develop their talent in light of a changing, more purpose-driven, more tech-enabled work environment?
