Dave Olsen (@dmolsen) nails it. In his talk at Confab EDU, Dave addresses the frustrations of our web design and development process, and how a pattern-driven workflow can help. Dave describes the many benefits of pattern-driven workflow:

• Patterns encourage communication between everyone involved in a project
• Patterns establish a shared vocabulary between disciplines and stakeholders
• Patterns force us to focus by breaking big problems
• Patterns makes testing more efficient
• Patterns allow for reuse and extensibility

Dave drives home again and again how patterns can help teams work together and helps make everyone's lives either.
