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 workshop you'll get hands-on practice with defining, maintaining and using a ubiquitous language. Together, we will:

1. Learn about how domain knowledge is discovered, captured, communicated and lost in teams
2. Learn guidelines and practices for capturing and defining the ubiquitous language drawing on practices from the discipline of professional dictionary writing
3. Learn about managing terminology in a multi-context environment where terms and definitions may overlap in confusing ways
4. Respond to an external change prompting the maintenance of evolving domain knowledge over time

You'll leave well prepared to empower your teams to skilfully manage a complex and evolving ubiquitous language in your business.
