✅ Why Attend This Training?
This workshop is designed for experienced developers, architects, and analysts who work on large-scale, domain-rich systems. It provides hands-on practice with Big Picture and Process Level Event Storming, a visual, collaborative technique that helps teams rapidly explore complex business domains, uncover risks, align stakeholders, and drive architectural decisions.
Participants will learn how to facilitate strategic conversations using domains, ubiquitous language — all foundational patterns in Strategic Domain-Driven Design (DDD) leading to bounded contexts and context maps.

🧠 Learning Objectives
• Master the Big Picture Event Storming technique to analyze existing or new systems
• Learn and apply strategic DDD patterns: Domains, Ubiquitous Language and also Bounded Context, Context Mapping
• Connect business analysis with architectural and organizational design decisions
• Use artifacts from Event Storming sessions to define teams, services, and system boundaries

🚀 Key Benefits
• Practical, step-by-step guidance for facilitating impactful Big Picture and Process Level Event Storming sessions
• Learn how to model and map complex domains collaboratively
• Understand how to make informed architectural and organizational decisions based on strategic patterns
• Develop a shared language across business and tech stakeholders
• Work on a realistic domain scenario — from initial chaos to structured, mapped contexts

👥 Who Should Attend?
• Experienced developers, architects, and technical leads
• Business or systems analysts working with complex domains
• Cross-functional teams seeking to define clear domain boundaries and align architecture with business goals

🧰 Prerequisites
• Understanding of domain analysis and software architecture

🔑 Practicalities:
• Level: Advanced
• Duration: 2 days (16h)

📚 Agenda – What You’ll Learn and Build
For developers, architects, and analysts shaping the strategic structure of software systems

1. 🧱 Understanding the Foundations of Event Storming
• What domain events are and how they help model business behavior
• The Event Storming mindset: exploration through collaboration
🎯 You’ll gain the ability to use Event Storming as a universal discovery language across disciplines.

2. 🧑‍💻 Facilitating a Successful Session
• What’s needed to run a productive session (tools, space, participants)
• In-person vs. online — how to adapt
• The role of the facilitator in guiding exploration
🎯 You'll be equipped to run sessions that produce valuable business and architectural insights.

3. 🗺️ Big Picture Event Storming in Action
• When and why to use Big Picture Event Storming
• Modeling greenfield vs. legacy systems
🎯 You’ll learn how to zoom out and explore the system landscape, aligning your team around a common view.

4. 🧩 Applying Strategic DDD Patterns
• Discovering and using Ubiquitous Language
• Identifying Domains and Ubiquitous Language
• Defining Bounded Contexts and Context Maps to visualize relationships
🎯 You’ll use these patterns to draw clear lines between responsibilities — organizationally and technically.

5. 🎯 Exploring the Domain
• Introduce a realistic business domain scenario
• Apply visual notations and techniques
• Learn Chaotic Exploration and Chronological Structuring
🎯 You’ll practice making sense of messy domains by structuring them step-by-step.

6. 🔍 Defining Bounded Contexts
• Identifying language boundaries and conceptual seams
• Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
🎯 You’ll leave with the ability to define clean, autonomous domains that scale with your organization.

7. 🔄 Designing Cross-Context Communication
• Communication styles and integration patterns between contexts
• Weighing trade-offs: autonomy, coupling, complexity
🎯 You’ll make informed decisions about how services should interact based on strategic clarity.

8. 🧱 From Contexts to Architecture
• Connecting Bounded Contexts to implementation
• Data Model vs. Domain Model — making the right architectural calls
• Mapping contexts to teams, services, and ownership
🎯 You’ll learn how to design systems and teams that reflect the shape of the business — not the org chart.
