Collaboration Patterns

When 2 teams are operating on the same project we can have different types of collaboration types:

• Partnership: collaborating towards a common goal.
• Customer-Supplier: dependency is less symmetrical
• Conformist: no negotiations. The downstream party just gets what they're given.
• Open Host: have a clear set of rules, language and boundaries that makes collaboration possible.
• Separate Ways: no collaboration.
• Big Ball of Mud: chaos
