I attended Coplien's lecture for his Vloeberghs Leerstoel at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. To the unknown contributer who added the fact: did you?

Agile, a pattern language?[edit]

I am analyzing Agile software development and came to conclussion that it is an organisational pattern language. It came to me because I heard Coplien's lecture in Belgrade back in 2004. He was also talking about difference in nature between patterns and methodologys. Now I understand it.

I have difficulties convicing people that XP, or Agile isn't methodology but pattern lenguages. Am I right? You can see the discussion here on wikipedia. Littlesal 16:15, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it's a pattern language[edit]

Some of Scrum and most of the structural components of XP came out of organizational patterns research at Bell Laboratories. See the Wikipedia page: Organizational patterns

Beedle, Devos, Schwaber, Sutherland and others recognized early on that Scrum was a pattern language, and they published some supplementary patterns to the Organizational Patterns of Agile Software Development book, which Beedle recognizes as the standing comprehensive representation of what Agile development is. (You can find citations in the Organizational Patterns Wikipedia article.)

The Scrum community has been going forward with this notion of Organizational patterns. See http://www.scrumorgpatterns.com as an example. Jcoplien (talk) 10:39, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality[edit]

Jim Coplien writes in the foreword to the book Clean Code by Robert C. Martin: "One of our favorite candies here in Denmark is Ga-Jol, whose strong licorice vapors are a perfect complement to our damp and often chilly weather. Part of the charm of Ga-Jol to us Danes is the wise or witty sayings printed on the ﬂap of every box top.". The category on this article says British computer scientists. Since he write himself that he is Dane, that must be true, but is he also British or is the category on the article wrong? Kinamand (talk) 12:07, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
