Spotify Tailoring for Promoting Effectiveness in Cross-Functional Autonomous Squads

TLDR
Embracing Spotify model for large-scale mission-critical project with a Business-to-Business (B2B) model is not essentially supported by the Spotify model, so organisations should be concerned about how Spotify practices are adjusted to promote effectiveness of cross-functional autonomous squads in a mission- critical project with B2B model.
Abstract
Organisations tend to tailor agile methods to scale employed practices to have cross-functional autonomous teams while promoting sustainable creative and productive development at a constant pace. Thus, it is important to investigate how organisations tailor agile practices to get the balance right between teams’ autonomy and alignment. Spotify model is originally introduced to facilitate the development of music streaming services in a very large-scale project with a Business-to-Consumer (B2C) model. However, developing a large-scale mission-critical project with a Business-to-Business (B2B) model is not essentially supported by the Spotify model. Thus, embracing Spotify model for such projects should be concerned about the question of how Spotify practices are adjusted to promote effectiveness of cross-functional autonomous squads in a mission-critical project with B2B model?
