- 15. Pattern 1: The Story Workshop • Responsible: Product Owner • Goal: Improving the Quality of User Stories • How to do it: • Invite your testers to a workshop for writing User Stories instead of writing them alone on your desk. • Ask your testers for possible acceptance criteria of every User Story.

Pattern 2: Sprint Planning 1.5 • Responsible: Team • Goal: Prepare task slicing after Planning 1 • How to do it: • The team forms pairs that are responsible for selected User Stories. • Each pair look for the key aspects of each User Story. • These aspects are the starting point of slicing tasks in Planning 2.
- 18. Pattern 3: Test Driven Planning • Responsible: The team’s testers • Goal: Hand over the lead of sprint planning to the testers • How to do it: • The testers provide test ideas for each User Story to the team. • The developers slice their tasks with the goal to make the resulting test cases green as fast as possible.
- 19. Pattern 4: The Value-Oriented Scrum Board • Responsible: Team • Goal: Visualize the Test Driven Planning • How to do to: • Stick the testers ideas in a column for every User Story. • Stick the developers’ and testers’ tasks beside these test ideas.

- 21. Pattern 5: Honor the test pyramid • Responsible: Team • Goal: Create valuable test according to Mike Cohn’s test pyramid • How to do it: • Focus on test ideas during planning and simple ways to satisfy tests. • Discuss a lot about simplicity and be willing to throw away complex solutions.

- 23. Pattern 6: Don’t distinguish between dev and test tasks • Responsible: Team • Goal: Exceed role-based thinking • • Focus on business value and technical excellence. How to do it: • Just stop showing up any kind of difference on your task board.
