It encourages early variants instead of long upfront debates.When several teams collaborate repeatedly, it describes the right interaction mode for each interface between them. It clarifies responsibility, interaction, and load between teams. The result is captured as an interaction heat map and pairwise agreements.When a team landscape has grown without clear grouping, it maps roles and relationships onto the Spotify model.
