Organisational patterns were one of the foundations of Scrum: Daily Stand-Ups were inspired by the pattern-based empirical research on software development at Bell Labs in the early 1990s. Nonaka-sensei, the grandfather of Scrum, points to organizational patterns as an interim step between his own work and the emergence of Scrum. These days, Scrum's inventor Jeff Sutherland uses patterns in his Scrum courses; he talked at length about his patterns at Agile 2013. And a group of industry leaders including Mike Beedle, Gabrielle Benefield, Jeff Sutherland, Jim Coplien, and many others, meet regularly in a forum called Scrum PLoP® to build a body of literature that comprises an authoritative, rationalized definition of Scrum — and you'll learn the foundations of that literature in this intensive two-day course.
You cannot read about these ideas in the Scrum Guide or Agile Atlas. The Scrum patterns are your way to Kaizen (continuous improvement). We want you to be able to tell a story of your own Scrum team that goes like this — exemplary of five of the most important patterns of successful Scrum teams:
In our Stable Team we have a Definition of Ready. It gives us Enabling Specifications for our Product Backlog Items before we enter a Sprint. During the Sprint we perform our tasks by Swarming while our ScrumMaster ensures Illegitimus non Interruptus. Most of our Sprint Goals are based on the Happiness Metric.
