DDD infused Wardley Mapping

🗺️ DDD infused Wardley Mapping

Domain-Driven Design helps us with solving problems the right way. But what helps us solve the right problem? How can we continuously validate our progress with people in "non-tech" roles? And what should we do when the world around us changes, which it always ends up doing? Is the plan we had still valid?

💭 Imagine...
Imagine having a map that helps you understand the ecosystem your organization is embedded in. A map that makes sense from both a technical and business perspective. With patterns that provide guidance about effective actions regardless of the specific domain you are working in. Wardley Mapping is that: it is a ubiquitous language around strategy and execution that helps you solve the right problem.

👩🏼‍🏫 What you will learn

During this meetup you will learn to map the business and technological landscape in such a way that a common language emerges to discuss strategic thinking and decision making. It allows for scenario building, it teaches about bias and assumptions, and it comes packaged with a long list of ideas that may help in your situation.

The map will hint what practices from DDD are beneficial in the situation at hand. It is perfectly suitable for reaching consensus on "make or buy" decisions. And it can serve as a context map too, except this one has meaning to businesspeople as well.

Using visualizations, strategies can be challenged and implementation options debated and weighed. As such, mapping is about the act and not merely the artifact. That is why this session is hands-on from the very start.

💪 What to expect
This meetup will emphasize practice over theory. Mapping with imperfect knowledge today is better than mapping with perfect knowledge next year. You will learn the basics in order to start making maps yourself the next day.

👥 Who should attend
Anyone that wants to challenge the status quo of decision making under uncertainty in technology and business. No prior knowledge is required and your open attitude to learn new things will be an asset during the workshop. This is certainly not just about engineering, so bring your colleagues with a different role.
