We have a set of case stories

Completed stage 1 

Challenge: Generate Design Patterns

Key questions

What is a pattern?

Why generated it?

How to generate it?

What is a pattern? At is simplest, it is a Generalised solution to a problem Follows a specific structure When, Where, Who What are we trying to achieve / solve? Cookbook: ingredients, procedure, expected outcomes C o n t e x t Problem Solution

At is simplest, it is a

Generalised solution to a problem

Follows a specific structure

Solution... (in architecture)
