The utility comes from zooming in and visualizing the real complexity using value stream maps which show more granular steps combined with the processing time of each step and the wait time before each step.

This kata is split into four sections that address different aspects of architecting software systems. All architecture decisions are ultimately driven by a company’s business model, so I think this is a sensible starting point. First with a domain quiz, and then by slicing up the provided event storm into domains.

Most organisations go through an architecture modernisation effort at some point as their systems drift into a state of intolerable maintenance costs and they diverge too far from modern technological advances. High-level Process Sections Conceptually, there are three major sections to a modernisation process.

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?” This information is recorded using a domain event.

The key to loose coupling is to understand how the system you are building is going to change, and minimising the cost of those changes.

One of the biggest time costs in software development is understanding how a system works. Systems are getting more complex yet our ability to understand them doesn’t seem to be growing at the same rate. As we continuously develop software systems, the complexity slowly increases and we don’t fully realise it.
