Workshop details
Abstract
Domain Storytelling means that we let domain experts tell us stories about their tasks. While listening, we record the stories using a pictographic language. The domain experts can see immediately whether or not we understand their story. After very few stories, we are able to talk about the people, tasks, tools, work objects, and events in that domain.
Learning objectives:
In this workshop, we will explore how Domain Storytelling can help you with different aspects of DDD:
- understand domain knowledge
- constitute ubiquitous language
- find bounded contexts
- derive requirements
You will learn how to adapt the method to the various purposes and you will try out different tools. After the workshop, you will be able to apply Domain Storytelling on your own.
For who:
Domain Storytelling is especially suited for:
- understanding a domain,
- establishing a shared language between domain experts and IT expert,
- talking about software requirements,
- and designing viable, software-supported business processes.
Requirements:
The workshop does not require programming skills. It is suited for people working as software developers, user experience designers, Scrum masters, product owners, product managers, project managers, and business analysts.
