If you facilitate or attend domain discovery workshops, one of the most effective and simplest ways to uncover insights is to make the scale or size of something explicit. For example, are we talking about a manual process performed by one employee or one thousand employees? and “How long does it take?” How Often Does this Happen?

There is also the matter of convincing the management or project stakeholders to invest the time and resources into the refactoring process. Besides, as the number of frontend developers contributing to the codebase also grows, this kind of CSS architecture becomes even more difficult to work with.”. Jump to online workshops ?.

In this article, I’m referring to question formats used in surveys, questionnaires, and workshops. Pre-workshop : questionnaires sent out to workshop attendees to help plan the final details of an upcoming workshop. It is a skill I would definitely encourage all leaders and facilitators to reflect on.

I believe that attitude towards the design of code and architecture is one of them. In my experience, the culture is better and the results are better in orgs where engineers and architects obsess over the design of code and architecture. Simon Brown taught me how to review architecture diagrams 10 years ago.

One of the challenges I see regularly is inertia following domain discovery workshops. Another hurdle to decision making is when technology leaders feel that the skills needed to deliver big changes don’t exist within the organization like the lack of DDD, architecture, or cloud skills. It’s also possible to exchange complexity.

Mapping out your business’s domain landscape has many benefits: knowledge sharing, generating product ideas, providing the foundation for software architecture, aligning on requirements, but a common challenge is… “where do we start?” The following steps are my baseline format for a series of discovery workshops.

However, there is great value in cultivating mentors outside a student’s immediate circle (advisors and immediate collaborators) for this can potentially provide holistic inputs in the crucial process of transforming students into independent researchers. Next, we outline what we believe such a workshop should provide its students.

Is there any way it’s possible to predict the future so that our architecture can easily absorb the changes we need to make of it? One thing I want you to notice is that good architecture is about more than just defining good boundaries. In DDD a bounded context is an independent, loosely-coupled architectural component.

And why, in lieu of a single tool or process, organizations need to identify and eliminate long cycles and wait times within development itself, and beyond. An Agile organization’s biggest architectural blindspot? Clever Value Stream Architecture designs for speed, visibility and traceability and it relies on APIs and abstraction.

Primary Heuristic 2: Align with Business Domain Unless we’re a startup that is constantly pivoting, macro parts of our business processes will remain stable over long periods of time. Sometimes, we may have very well maintained software but the architecture doesn’t align with how we’d like to set up our teams. frontend, backend, DBAs).

The reason we pay so much attention to design (as we do to any other detail in the process of project completion) is that it plays one of the crucial roles in your business success. When it comes to the decision-making process, many businesses make the same mistake over and over again. Jump to online workshops ?.

Loosely-coupled teams enabled by loosely-coupled software architecture is one of the strongest predictors of continuous delivery performance and organizational scaling. Where we place boundaries impacts our ability to innovation, the quality of our UX, and execution of our strategy. There are still challenges with this approach?
