Crunching 'real-life stories' with DDD & Event Storming - Kenny Baas-Schwegler - KanDDDinsky 2018

To really understand what our users will need, we want to have a first-hand experience from 'real-life stories' before we can model and create our software. While both the DDD and BDD techniques emphasis on ‘real-life stories’ by doing collaborative deliberate learning, they both focus on different goals. DDD focuses more on creating bounded contexts in which a single model is created, BDD focuses more on different scenarios and can create executable specifications as an outcome. By doing Event Storming and using techniques from BDD, such as Example Mapping and Feature Mapping, we can create more insights. We can simultaneously create a model and executable specifications for our user needs. This way, we can write software and tests which matches the shared understanding of the user, creating a ubiquitous language. Value will be shipped at a faster pace.
In this session, I will explain how to do Process Event Storming. We will use Example Mapping to get more insights into our process. The outcome can drive our Software Modelling Event Storming and create Executable Specifications.

So useful watching the principe in practice

The "what if meteorite hits" usually causes "analysis paralysis" and it dooms a lot of designs

@Babs42 0 seconds ago Anyone know what he means by there's "the esess" and "2b" process level event storming and how 2b goes into design?

People aren't communicating about what they build. It might be a quick conversation in a meeting,, but who is focused on that part of the software, but then someone has to implementing it in isolation without a strategy for the whole of the system.

Kenny used many time "event"ually - ofcourse
