Reach out to me with your questions and comments through the link at the bottom of this article.ĭisclaimer: You'll find quite a few references to music within this article, we tend to do that a lot at Spotify. Note that we still have a long way to go to establish our practice, so I’m eager to meet my peers to exchange experiences and grow together. Here are a few things we figured out and wanted to share with you-fellow design ops or design teams who are thinking of forming a design ops function. And to add to that, Spotify values a good deal of autonomy and encourages teams to solve problems in their own way, so we needed to tread lightly at first. We have designers working across multiple locations, for multiple audiences, across multiple platforms. It’s been a hell of a year figuring what this discipline means and how it works at a unique company like ours. My first year of heading up design ops at Spotify is nearly complete.
