Purpose

Understand what DDD is and how it can become a useful tool in current projects by developing a DDD strategy around a real-life example.

Contents

What is DDD?

Theoretical introduction to the terminology used by DDD. Examples on how this fits into an application architecture. (2h)

Model Discovery

We will split the audience in groups that will have different roles: some will be domain experts (no coding experience), others will be playing the end-user role, while some will be domain modelers with development background. (30 min)
Team makes first attempt at understanding the domain. (1 h)
Showcase current status. (30 min)

Application Architecture Using DDD

Theoretical concepts. Case studies of other projects adopting DDD.(1 h)

Going In-Depth

Develop application design strategy. Describe contexts, boundaries, components. (1 h)

Planning

Team establishes components complexity, priorities, and trade-offs. (1.5 h)

Conclusions

Each team presents their own model and planning status. Lessons learned. (30 min)
