Empowered to Build, Designed to Last

Join us on April 23 for an evening filled with inspiration, knowledge-sharing, and great company at Voyado's office in Norrköping! We've lined up two exciting sessions that you definitely don’t want to miss. First up is Magnus Broeders, who will dive into how we can build Empowered Teams where people feel safe enough to try new things. He'll explore the connection between psychological safety, innovation, and how we can stay focused and aligned as teams grow and evolve.

After a break with food, drinks, and some good conversation, Chris Klug will take the stage. He'll demystify Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and show how its powerful practices can be used in real-world projects—without needing to master all the ancient terminology. A practical and entertaining session that’s perfect for developers at any level! We'd love for you to join us for this fun and insightful evening—see you there!

Session 1
Magnus Broeders
Empowered Teams – Safe enough to try?

In a world of constant change, the ability of teams to swiftly adapt, innovate, and maintain focus is critical to success. As a member of a product development team, you are at the heart of product innovation, and your capacity for creative thinking directly impacts the success of your products. But how can we create an environment where each individual feels safe enough to explore new ideas, experiment freely, and drive innovation? And as the number of teams grows, how do we stay aligned, focused on what truly matters, and maintain a unified product experience?

In this talk, we’ll explore the theory behind Empowered Teams, uncover how psychological safety directly fuels creativity and success, and discuss why measuring software development doesn’t have to be as complicated as we often assume.

Session 2
Chris Klug
Exposing the not-so-secret practices of the cult of DDD
For decades, the followers of the Legend of the Ubiquitous Language, have been successfully implementing software solutions in complex domains. Using the not-so-secret practices outlined by the cult of DDD, they merge the realms of development and business to create understandable and manageable software.

But even if these powerful practices aren't secret, they are shrouded in mystery and complex language. Making them tools used almost exclusively by developers who have studied the ancient book of Evans. A book filled with incantations like "bounded context", "value object" and "anti-corruption layer".

But that ends today! In this session, we will expose some of the most useful DDD practices for what they are. And we will also show you how they can become powerful tools in your developer toolbelt. Even if you do not want to bend your knee to the craftspeople of old, and spend the rest of your career trying to explain the legend of the ubiquitous language to everyone around you.
