column, respectively, S denotes the number of scenarios and P the number of patterns.
If IR is low, the pattern seems to be less relevant for the scenario set, if RR is close to
1, the pattern may cause more problems than benefits, and if SI is negative the pattern
language may counteract the scenario.

From Table 5 we can see that IR (involvement ratio) was at least 0.6 with the fol-
lowing patterns: GSD03 (
Communicate Early
), GSD06 (
Communication Tools
),
GSD07 (
Common Repositories and Tools
), GSD14 (
Multi-Level Daily Meetings
)
and GSD18 (
Notice Cultural Differences
). These patterns seem to be the most im-
portant ones for GSD and they give some involvement with the set of scenarios used
in this assessment.
Suspicious patterns were GSD02, GSD05 and GSD16 in which RR (risk ratio) was
1.0. GSD 02 (
Fuzzy Front End
) has a risk because the pattern did not include a
proper change management process. GSD05 (
Key Roles in Sites
) was interesting
because it has only risks, but one main problem with this pattern was that deputy
persons were not mentioned to ensure communication if the main responsible person
is not available and it was required in three scenarios. GSD16 (
Organize Knowledge
Transfer
) has a risk because it did not include process knowledge which is also a key
area to train, although training of common processes was mentioned in GSD03
(
Communicate Early
).
It can also be noticed that GSD01, GSD10, GSD11 do not have any marks. GSD01
is a GSD strategy pattern which is mainly used before the start of a project. GSD10
and GSD11 as well as GSD09 are patterns for different types of work allocation and
the main work allocation pattern was GSD08 which was mainly used instead of
GSD09, GSD10 and GSD11 in the assessment.
