DDD Kickstart

  • Introduction to DDD
  • Modelling techniques
  • Strategic design
  • Tactical design
Wardley Mapping Workshop

Domain knowledge
at the centre
of software development

Successful software emerges where technology and domain knowledge work together. Domain-Driven Design (DDD) provides the foundation to shape this collaboration in a structured and effective way - especially in modern sociotechnical systems.

Strategic and tactical patterns help to:

  • make domain models tangible
  • clarify responsibilities
  • design sustainable architectures

DDD becomes a tool for empowered teams and robust software. This training delivers practical knowledge for targeted, pragmatic use of DDD in everyday architecture work.

Agenda
DDD Kickstart

Introduction to Domain-Driven Design

  • When does DDD pay off?
  • Making complexity tangible
  • Domains & Subdomains
  • Ubiquitous Language - a shared domain vocabulary
  • Domain Models - the value of domain models
  • Context boundaries with Bounded Contexts
  • Mental models & Knowledge Discovery

Modelling Techniques

  • Collaborative software design
  • Brainstorming
  • EventStorming
  • Example Mapping
  • Domain Storytelling

Strategic Design

  • Identifying Subdomains
  • Context Mapping
  • Strategic Design Patterns
  • Software as part of the sociotechnical system
  • Core Domain Charts
  • Wardley Mapping

Tactical Design

  • Implementing Domain Models
  • Tactical Building Blocks
  • Design principles
  • Layer, Hexagonal, Onion, and Clean Architecture
  • CQRS
  • Event Sourcing

Domain-Driven Design
through a consistent example
Pure practice!

Key highlights include:

  • End-to-end practical example from model to code
  • Collaborative modelling with EventStorming
  • Applying strategic and tactical DDD patterns
  • Discussing typical challenges and pitfalls

After the training, DDD can be applied in a targeted and pragmatic way in your own context - as a tool for robust architectures and empowered teams.

Who is the
DDD Kickstart
for?

For everyone who wants to learn Domain-Driven Design thoroughly and apply it pragmatically in their own context.

  • Software developers & architects who want to understand and use DDD as a tool
  • Product Owners & domain experts who want to work towards a shared domain understanding
  • Teams that want to establish DDD as a common framework for architecture and design decisions

Prerequisites: A basic understanding of software development and software architecture is helpful; prior DDD experience is not required.
