With agile, gone are the days of 400-page specifications outlining every detail of the software application, only to have most of it change along the way. Today, we use lightweight user stories to capture high-level reminders and use interactive conversations to coordinate our work.

One challenge teams sometimes face with this approach is understanding the information within the application. If we’re building an online booking system, does everyone on the team understand Guests, Rooms, and Reservations, and how they’re related?

In this session, software development expert and author Dave Todaro will explain how a lightweight domain modeling process addresses this problem by allowing the team to visualize real-world entities and the relationships between them.

Key takeaways:

* How domain modeling brides the gap between the problem space and solution space
* Understanding who’s involved with domain modeling and the best time to do it
* Tools to support rapid domain modeling
* The elements of a clear domain model
* Multiple examples to understand the domain modeling concept
