These stories paint a very clear picture of how business leaders need to adapt by learning value stream thinking in order to survive and thrive in the Age of Software. For example, making major staffing, outsourcing or architecture is foolhardy without measuring how those decisions impact flow on a particular value stream. .

CIO: “I wish I could give a definitive answer. Bottlenecks from internal processes and a dated software architecture severely affected morale. Me: “How is it going?”. Throughout this period, the development teams had been overloaded by all the changes and outsized backlogs. Culture was blamed for the lack of results.

First of all, I want to concentrate on software code quality (vs. larger topics, including problem definition, documentation, UX, design, etc.). High-quality software is software that has fewer bugs (and a shorter tail of fixing remaining issues).

This gets tricky at times when collaborating with different companies or communities that use different definitions. To reduce undesired ambiguity in communication consider using the specific definitions. I encounter this problem quite frequently when the word domain is used in the context of business and software architecture.

The microservices era has been good for software architecture. A domain service builds on the basic definition of a microservice: it’s a loosely-coupled, independently deployable element of software architecture which is owned by a single team. Domains are part of the logical architecture of a business.

However, some concepts in DDD do not have a clear definition and are highly implicit. Everybody has their own definition of Domain, Subdomain, Problem Space and Solution space. In this article, I’m going to provide working definitions of those concepts and clear them up. This definition of a domain is very fuzzy.

Once you complete the following steps, repeat the process until you have defined all of your bounded contexts. Try to approximately divide your time equally between the number of candidate bounded contexts you identified.

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.

With loosely-coupled architectures we can invest more granularly where payback is greatest. Diligently-crafted boundaries give us strategic-flexibility.
