Methods for effective Domain-Driven Design workshops

In the DDD Toolbox Training you learn how to apply Domain-Driven Design methods like EventStorming, Domain Storytelling and Example Mapping purposefully in DDD workshops. The focus is on effective application, informed method selection and direct transfer to your everyday project work.

  • Apply DDD methods with confidence - instead of experimenting unsystematically.
  • Decide methodically - which DDD method fits which context.
  • Design more effective workshops - through structured collaborative modelling.

For a deeper foundation we recommend our DDD Kickstart Training and our EventStorming Workshops for focused work on complex domains.

How the workshop works

  • A short but solid introduction - compact overview of the goal and structure of each method.
  • Work in groups - applying methods to realistic scenarios from real project situations.
  • Reflect together - review results, assess the impact of the method and identify typical pitfalls.
  • Plan the transfer - derive concrete steps for applying what you've learned in your own workshops.

A high proportion of hands-on practice, visual and collaborative techniques, and clear decision logic run through the entire workshop.

These DDD methods are at the heart of it

EventStorming

Big Picture & Design Level to make domain flow, processes and dependencies visible.

Example Mapping

Structure examples, rules and open questions before implementation begins.

Domain Storytelling

A modelling technique in Domain-Driven Design where stories from day-to-day work help develop a shared domain language.

Wardley Mapping in a DDD context

Prepare strategic decisions about the domain and technical capabilities.
