Ddd Starter Modelling Process
This project is a Domain-Driven Design framework and strategic design methodology. It provides a structured workflow for translating business knowledge into technical implementations, guiding the decomposition of complex business domains into manageable software models.
The methodology focuses on strategic domain decomposition, identifying core domains to inform build-versus-buy decisions, and defining bounded contexts to establish system responsibilities. It employs collaborative visual techniques to build a shared mental model of the problem domain between technical and non-technical team members.
The framework covers the alignment of autonomous team structures with domain boundaries to optimize delivery flow. It further addresses the design of loosely coupled architectures by mapping end-to-end business use-cases to interactions between sub-domains.
Features
- Strategic Domain Decomposition - Provides a framework for splitting large business problem spaces into loosely coupled sub-domains and bounded contexts.
- Core Domain Identification - Analyzes sub-domains to identify those providing the highest strategic value and differentiation.
- Bounded Context Definition - Provides a process for specifying roles, responsibilities, and boundaries for different domain models.
- Collaborative Domain Modeling - Employs visual and shared techniques to discover business knowledge and establish a ubiquitous language.
- Collaborative Knowledge Discovery - Provides team-based techniques for building shared mental models of business domains before technical implementation.
- Domain Modeling Workflows - Provides a structured workflow for translating business knowledge and domain models into technical implementations.
- Organizational Alignment - Strategizes the structuring of autonomous teams around bounded contexts to optimize delivery flow.
- Team-Boundary Alignment - Defines processes for organizing team structures to match the bounded contexts of the software architecture.
- Domain-Based Team Organization - Offers a methodology for structuring autonomous teams to align with business domain boundaries.
- Domain-Driven Designs - Provides a comprehensive methodology for aligning software architecture with complex business domains.
- Sub-domain Interaction Design - Provides a methodology for defining how fragmented sub-domains interact to fulfill end-to-end business goals.
