Collaborative Software Modeling combines EventStorming with further methods that build on one another - with one clear goal:
Develop sound architecture decisions together.

public training (via socreatory)

In our Collaborative Software Modeling training, you learn to make complex domains visible as a team and translate them step by step into sound architecture.

Experience collaborative practices - understand how to apply them, and how to create the conditions for successful sessions
Take part in an EventStorming session - and get to know complementary practices
Recognise obstacles in organisational culture - and how you can overcome them
Learn to break down barriers - instead of running into walls
Design workshops effectively - through structured collaborative modelling.
Get started with facilitation - learn the key success factors for collaborative sessions

Methods
that build on one another

EventStorming is the starting point, not the goal. The shared Big Picture reveals the questions we dig into with lightweight methods - all the way to concrete implementation options and architecture decisions.

Big Picture: make complex domains visible as a team
Dig deeper: work through hotspots and open questions in a structured way
Decide: evaluate implementation options and define architectural boundaries
Anchor: document results in a clear, traceable way

Topics in
focus

Collaborative modelling

Create a shared understanding, make knowledge visible and model complex relationships as a team.

EventStorming & more

Jointly explore business processes and events - and dig deeper with complementary, lightweight methods.

Architecture decisions

Derive domain boundaries, technical encapsulation and solution strategies from models - evaluate them soundly and document them transparently.

Sociotechnical systems

Understand how people, organisations, and software architecture together shape the success of a system.

Moderation & facilitation

Professionally prepare, moderate and guide modelling workshops towards sound outcomes.

Roles in architecture work

Understand responsibility in collaborative architecture processes, reflect on your own impact and use roles deliberately.

How the
training
works

Start concisely, yet with a solid foundation - a compact introduction to the goal and structure of each practice.
Work in groups - applying the practice to realistic scenarios from real project situations.
Reflect together - reviewing the results, the impact of the method and typical pitfalls.
Plan the transfer - deriving concrete steps for using what you've learned in your own workshops.

A strong practical focus, visual and collaborative techniques, and a clear decision logic run through the entire training.

For everyone who develops software as a team and wants to make better decisions together.

Developers & architects who want to bring development and architecture closer together
Product owners, domain experts & testers as active modelling partners
Team leads and tech leads who want to establish collaborative domain work in a structured way

Prerequisites: No specific architecture knowledge required - curiosity about collaborative modelling is enough.

Who is
Collaborative Software Modeling
for?

What you gain
from the Collaborative Software Modeling training

Clarity on methods

You know which collaborative method fits which context.

From model to architecture

You build shared mental models, define domain boundaries and design solution strategies.

Hands-on experience

You experience at least two collaborative methods first-hand.

Sustainable skill-building

Instead of isolated exercises, you build robust methodological expertise for yourself and your team.

Tom Asel - Co-Founder, Head of Architecture, Trainer.

Tom co-founded tangible concepts in 2022 and has since been our ambassador at numerous community events and conferences. His heart has been in software architecture since the early 2000s.

Collaborative Software Modeling is not a side activity at tangible concepts: We are firmly embedded in the CoSMo community and regularly share our knowledge at conferences and within the community.
