With the world working remotely, I have managed to join a few meetup sessions which I would not normally have access to. A couple of days ago I was talking with James Coplien¹, who along with the likes of Kent Beck, Ward Cunningham, Grady Booch, founded the the Hillside group². Inspired by the architect Christopher Alexander³ work in pattern languages they have been running PLoP (Pattern Languages of Programming) writers workshops.

With Jeff Sutherland⁴ and several other authors, Coplien has documented and collected patterns related to how Scrum teams organise and create value into a scrum book⁵. Most of these patterns are available online⁶. It includes all your favourites, from Sprint Goal and Daily Stand-up, to some more guild like patterns, i.e. Birds of a Feather (where similar roles, i.e. BAS or QAs, from different teams get together to share knowledge).
