Title
*
Does the name convey the meaning behind the pattern without being too long or unwieldy? Context
*
Is it clear under what conditions the pattern is applicable? *
Is the context mapped to relevant customer scenarios? Objectives
*
Are all the positive results of applying the pattern explained? *
Is each objective expressed as a specific task? *
Is the objectives list short enough that it can be easily scanned and understood? Implementation Strategy
*
Is an overview of the solution architecture provided? *
Is an overview of the steps necessary to implement the solution provided? *
Are diagrams used to clarify system architecture or flow? *
Are the steps explicit (eg. Step One, Step Two, …)? Implementation Approach
*
Are setup and configuration steps included? *
Are source code or configuration file samples included? *
Are the steps explicit (eg. Step One, Step Two, …)? *
Does each step explain what to do, why it is important and then how to take action? *
If there is a decision point is it called out with an explicit ‘if…’ condition? *
Is the Implementation Approach capable of standing alone without requiring the user to search elsewhere to complete the solution? Resulting Context
*
Are the consequences of applying the pattern described? *
If new problems arise or new patterns are applicable, are they explained? *
Is the resulting context clearly mapped back through the solution to the original context? *
Is the resulting context clearly an improvement over the original context? Considerations
*
Are there consequences that do not have applicable patterns described? *
Are potential solutions to these consequences outlined? *
Has testing, security, performance, reliability and operations been considered? Additional Resources
*
Are the links from trusted sites? *
Are the links correct in context of the Implementation Pattern? Related Items
*
Is it clear why each related pattern is included? *
Are the correct items linked in context of the Implementation Pattern?
