Making rational architectural decisions driven by domain

Code: Arch-decision
Category: Architecture
Format: 50% lecture / 50% workshop
Duration: 2 days
Target audience:
Enrollment: Groups, companies
Venue: Client's office.

You can't avoid essential complexity when creating architecture.

What you can avoid, though, is accidental complexity.

During this workshop, you'll learn how to align architecture with strategic Domain-Driven Design to focus on what truly matters. Without wasting time on technological bikeshedding.

We will walk through the full journey of a business-oriented architect: from product vision and business goals to high-level architectural boundaries expressed directly in code as a domain-driven meta-model.

You'll discover the value of making your architecture domain-driven and expressing it as code. You'll learn how to compare architectures using metrics, verify alignment between architecture and application and clearly represent business processes and personas. You'll also see how to generate diagrams tailored to any audience or purpose.

And the best part?

Once the domain-driven meta-model is in place, all of this becomes almost effortless.

    What You'll Learn:
  • Align architecture with strategic DDD principles
  • Express architecture as a domain-driven meta-model in code
  • Compare architectures using meaningful metrics
  • Verify alignment between architecture and implementation
  • Model business processes and personas effectively
  • Generate diagrams tailored to different audiences and purposes

It's all about the content.
