Many teams don't document their ubiquitous language, or if they do document it, struggle to keep it up to date.

As a result, the ubiquitous language diffuses over time and becomes inconsistently applied in conversation and in code, hampering communication and denying teams the full benefits of their collaborative domain modelling.

Living documentation practices can help your teams talk the talk and walk the walk by both easing the maintenance of your ubiquitous language and encouraging its use in all the places that matter - code, conversations and documentation.

This leads to improved communication, more maintainable code and fully realising the value of collaborative domain modelling.

In this talk we'll explore guidelines for capturing and defining your ubiquitous language drawing on practices from the discipline of professional dictionary writing, and modern tooling to help with your living documentation.
