Shared understanding is central to a design team's performance. While current literature describes general relationships between team interaction and the development of shared understanding, it is not known if or how dynamic patterns in team processes impact this. Using a comparative study, we describe dynamic process patterns that influence the relationship between collaborative design work and shared understanding development. We propose two major patterns that impact shared understanding development: taskwork-teamwork interdependency and inter-action heartbeat, and describe how what we term cross-level pattern alignment moderates their effect. We propose a conceptual model that integrates these insights and provides testable propositions. As such, this work has significant implications for both design researchers and practitioners.

共同的理解对于设计团队的表现至关重要。尽管当前的文献描述了团队互动与共同理解发展之间的一般关系，但尚不清楚团队流程中的动态模式是否或如何影响这一点。通过比较研究，我们描述了影响协作设计工作与共享理解开发之间关系的动态过程模式。我们提出了影响共享理解发展的两种主要模式：任务-团队相互依存和交互心跳，并描述了我们如何称为跨级别模式对齐减轻其影响。我们提出了一个概念模型，该模型整合了这些见解并提供了可验证的主张。因此，这项工作对设计研究人员和从业人员都具有重大意义。
