Spotify Engineering Culture - Part 1 (aka the "Spotify Model")

Video Description

This video is a snapshot of Spotify's approach to software enginering and people management in 2014. It has since come to be known as the "Spotify Model". I put it on Vimeo originally, but that account has some issues so I put a copy here. DISCLAIMER: This video is a historical account from 2014. It is not maintained or updated, so it is not a description of how Spotify works today. Many people ask which tools were used. I hand-drew everything in ArtRage using a Wacom drawing tablet, and recorded the drawing and speaking using ScreenFlow.
