When your team grows faster than your processes, how do you scale without losing what made you effective? This talk shares the real story of how the Accounts tribe at Novibet grew from a single team of 10 to a multi-squad organization of 60 people — and how the Spotify model helped us get there (with plenty of detours along the way).
This is not a Spotify tutorial. It's not "copy what we did." It's an honest account of what worked, what didn't, and what we're still figuring out.
Target Audience mainly is engineering leaders, team leads, product owners, and senior developers who are navigating the transition from a single team to a multi-team engineering organization.
