+## Title
+
+Agile InnerSource Dojo
+
+## Patlet
+
+Organizations struggle with siloed knowledge and slow adaptation. Agile environments left unchecked can lead to redundant codebases feeding the desire to over-standardized practices that ultimately stifle innovation. Implementing an Agile InnerSource Dojo creates a structured learning environment which fosters improved collaboration, reduced waste, improved efficiency and promotes generative culture, supporting DevOps and scaled change initiatives.
+
+## Problem
+
+Agile projects, especially those using Scrum and promoting autonomy and self-organization, can unintentionally lead to silos.  Similar teams across the organization may create non-uniform and redundant codebases, resulting in inefficiencies and waste.  This can also lead to a compulsion to over-standardize practices, which stifles innovation, particularly in DevOps and other transformational initiatives.  Symptoms include low engagement in InnerSource projects, inefficient knowledge transfer and difficulty in scaling Agile practices.
+
+## Context
+
+A dojo is a didactic participatory practice group, predicated on traditional martial arts dojo practices. It creates opportunities for participants to learn by doing (embodied learning), under supervision and guidance of others who have prior experience. Agile InnerSource Dojos are designed for organizations aiming to harness the power of InnerSource to increase potentials for transformation and innovation.  This setting brings individuals from various backgrounds, expertise and roles to collaboratively work on shared goals, ensuring the learning journeys remain relevant, beneficial and peer supported.  
+
+## Forces
+
+* **Lack of Awareness**: Many Agile practioners are unware of InnerSource methodologies and vice versa.
+* **Diversity of Participants**: The Dojo involves individuals with different backgrounds, expertise and expectations.
+* **Need for Safe Spaces**: Participants must feel safe to share their insights and challenges.
+* **Continuous Engagement**: Ongoing participation is crucial for maintaining the Dojo's momentum and impact.
+* **Knowledge Sharing**: Effective methods for sharing knowledge and best practices are essential.
+
+## Solutions
+
+Adopt a strategic approach to create and sustain an Agile InnerSource Dojo, focusing on clear objectives, inclusive participation and continuous improvement.  This can be achieved through the following parallel efforts:
+
+* **Define the Purpose**: Clearly articulate the Dojo's purpose and goals, ensuring alignment with broader organizational objectives.
+* **Establish Social Conventions**: Develop and communicate social conventions that promote respect, inclusivity and open dialogue.  Encourage members to embrace and evolve these guidelines to create a safe and supportive environment.
+* **Facilitate Regular Meetings**: Schedule regular meetings to maintain engagement and momentum.  Use these sessions for open discussions, sharing insights and addressing challenges.  Meetings are open for unpacking issues, with goals set by attendees.
+* **Rotate Leadership**: Encourage shared leadership by rotating the facilitation role among members.  This helps distribute responsibility and fosters a sense of connection.
+* **Use Collaborative Tools**: Utilize tools like Jitsi Meet, Slack and GitHub for communication and documentation.  Insights can be optionally shared on social channels, ensuring privacy.
+* **Encourage Voluntary Code Contribution**: Foster an environment where contributions are voluntary, allowing individuals to work on what interests them and aligning with their passions.
+* **Prioritized Mentorship**: Implement a mentorship structure with Sensei (teachers) providing guidance and Senpai (senior students) supporting newer members. This dual-layer mentorship enhances skill development and community cohesion.
+* **Foster a Culture of Continuous Improvement**: Regularly seek feedback to identify improvement areas, refining the Dojo's conditioning and activities accordingly.
+
+## Resulting Context
+
+Embracing this pattern helps InnerSource programs become vibrant, effective and sustainable.  Participants will feel more connected and engaged, leading to increased knowledge sharing, innovation and collective growth.
