Architecture Modernization: Socio-technical alignment of software, strategy, and structure

A domain story is a visual representation of a precise domain process expressed as a single flow of activities and interactions.

How it is used
Explores future domain processes to identify valuable modernization requirements and improve the conceptual domain model.
How deep it goes
Defines the notation and develops workshop scoping and facilitation guidance, while keeping alternative scenarios in separate stories.
Examples
Illustrates a future-state prescription-validation process and a workshop replay of a partially modeled story.
What you can do after
Practice/perform a scoped, single-flow modeling workshop to explore a process and clarify modernization requirements.
