Meeting Minutes

The discussed planning to conduct a card sort to organize patterns for a new patterns catalogue, aiming for 30-40 patterns, including both existing and new ones. They debated the structure of the catalogue, considering role-based and topic-based navigation.

The meeting also covered the need for behavioral patterns and the potential inclusion of patterns for educators and project managers. The team will finalize the patterns and structure for the next meeting.

Decisions

• Select 30-40 patterns for the card sort
• Include 3-5 patterns across 8-10 personas
• Map existing patterns to personas
• Develop screener questions to understand the background of the card sorting participants (e.g., role, experience level) to aid in data analysis
• Potentially structure the new catalogue based on “Persona > Topic > Patterns”
