This workshop is aimed at giving people in leadership positions an overview of Domain-driven Design (DDD) and its relevance of IT delivery organizations. The workshop will have a strong focus on the following topics: 

  • Collaboration between development teams and domain experts

  • Similarities between DDD and other practices such as agile, DevOps and (digital) product design

  • Strategic Domain-driven Design and its impact in terms of identifying boundaries for systems and teams as well as making good staffing and make or buy decisions

  • Aligning software architecture, business architecture and teams

  • How applying DDD can help you to plan and conduct the transformation of an IT landscape which has grown over time and which needs to be modernized towards faster release cycles with higher quality and an decrease of cross-team coordination

The workshop will contain explanations by the trainer as well as some exercises which will help you to reflect on the topics taught. There will also be plenty of time for questions and discussions in the group.
