Transforming legacy systems with tangled, chaotic architectures into well-structured, maintainable solutions is no small feat. Many teams inherit systems often labeled as “Monoliths” or “Big Balls of Mud.” In this concise two-hour session, participants will get a high-level introduction to the principles and practices of Domain-Driven Transformation.

This workshop provides a quick overview of the key concepts, including how to evaluate your system’s current state and the critical first steps to take. Participants will explore the Modularity Maturity Index (MMI) as a guide to prioritize efforts, starting with understanding the domain. The session also highlights Collaborative Modeling methods as powerful tools for uncovering domain insights and transforming the system into a robust architecture.

Attendees will leave with a catalog of refactorings and actionable heuristics, providing a starting point for tackling challenges such as BBOM architecture and anemic domain models. Whether you’re curious about Domain-Driven Transformation or considering how to apply it in your projects, this session offers a practical glimpse into the possibilities.
