During XP 2006 in Oulu, Finland. I attended a session jointly hosted by Amr Elssamadisy and Ahmed El shamy on patterns of Agile adoption.

You can check the paper on “Functional Testing: A Pattern to Follow and the Smells to Avoid” (PDF warning) and the paper on “Adopting Agile Practices: An Incipient Pattern Language” (PDF warning).
