Leverage of Space

On my talk at KanDDDinsky conference in 2018 I introduced something called Domain Learning Framework that I came up with and talked about its elements as well.  One of the element is the Domain Quiz. I've tried to explain there what it is but obviously during a talk you cannot spend that much time on the practical things in too much details. Since then I had the pleasure that I got mentioned with this practice by Nick Tune more times in various talks of his. Recently I got questions whether this Domain Quiz thing is documented anywhere at all? And...it is unfortunately not (except my previous domain quizzes at various companies) yet, but that's why I'm writing this up for you now. Because I wanted you to see that you shouldn't be thinking of any difficult assessments here, or hard to fill questionnaires.  What is Domain Quiz? A relative short assessment of people’s current domain knowledge followed by a common evaluation session. And, if you ask me, i...

We had one simple idea: to enjoy a relaxing coffee in our garden. I didn’t expect that I would need to use all of my Domain-Driven Design skills! We have been living in our house for half a year now, and a couple of weeks ago, when the weather was perfect, we had a "crazy" idea: why not sit outside and have our coffee in the terrace? Sounds reasonable, right? Little did we realize the implementation was a bit more complex than it sounded.

We had no proper furniture that time. And we also had no idea where to put the stuff from the terrace.  So first thing in the priority order was to buy a storage shed. Then it needed to be assembled. Then if that was done, we needed to pack everything that we wanted into the shed to free up space on the...

If I say  12 meter   what do people associate it with? They imagine it as a distance, but it is also a rating class for racing sailboats that are designed to the international rule. But since last week I also know that it can be a space where a mid-sized company's let's say "normally healthy business' story" can fit in 😉   Well, yes I finally managed to attend an EventStorming workshop. But this workshop wasn't just any  EventStorming workshop. This was  The  EventStorming Workshop This was a Master Class for  EventStorming enthusiasts directly from the Master, the Inventor: Alberto Brandolini .  Even better this was the first  EventStorming Master Class in Italy that was held in English. Yeah actually otherwise it wouldn't have been too useful for me to attend,right?  And it is not just Alberto (sorry, Alberto) who makes the training awesome, but Enrico who  always tries his best to arrange everything that...
