Hands-on: Master your Domain with Domain Storytelling

Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.

Domain-driven design practioners want to identify bounded contexts and work out ubiquitous languages. Domain experts, however, often work together across contexts. The boundaries that shape your software systems must therefore not become borders that segregate people. DomainStorytelling helps you to avoid segregation.

Domain Storytelling means brining together domain experts and IT experts. You let them tell you stories about their collaborative tasks. While listening, you record the stories using a pictographic language. The experts can see immediately whether or not we understand their story. After very few stories, you are able to talk about the people, tasks, tools, work items, and events in that domain.

The visualized stories give you clues for finding context boundaries. As we learn more about a domain and refine our ubiquitous languages, we will adapt the context boundaries.

The talk will consist of two parts: Hennin will introduce Domain Storytelling with a role play. As example domain they will use the ship maneuver domain from the port of Hamburg. In the second part, he will discuss examples. These will illustrate how to find context boundaries and how to capture cooperation across contexts.
