One of the challenges I see regularly is inertia following domain discovery workshops. It can guid you through your first few cycles of discovery, strategy, and implementation and then you’ll be in a good place to guide yourself.

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.
