  • Further workshops at the same time in the following weeks
• Discussed the desire for participants outside of Software Development, especially User Experience
• Discussed the need for adequate preparation to ensure that we get the most out of the workshops
  • This should include the project's history
  • Key challenges we are facing
  • Known gaps
  • As much context as possible about how the patterns are being used in the real-world
  • Relevant external references such as https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pattern-Oriented-Software-Architecture-System-Patterns/dp/0471958697
