Software design EventStorming
Software design EventStorming is a collaborative modeling technique that explores domain events and processes to inform software structure and behavior.
Architecture Modernization: Socio-technical alignment of software, strategy, and structure
Process modeling EventStorming is an EventStorming format that uses structured, detailed collaborative modeling to design or analyze a business process and its future states.
- How it is used
- Designs future-state business processes during product or process modernization.
- How deep it goes
- Distinguishes structured, detailed process modeling from chaotic big picture exploration, but does not specify software-level implementation.
- Examples
- Uses customer dropout from a purchasing flow as a problem worth investigating before redesign.
- What you can do after
- Practice/perform collaborative design of a new or future-state process after identifying problems and opportunities.
Collaborative Software Design: How to facilitate domain modeling decisions
Software Design EventStorming is an EventStorming format for designing and implementing software around specific business scenarios.
- How it is used
- Shapes software design and implementation around a specific business scenario through collaborative event-flow modeling.
- How deep it goes
- Guides collaborative scenario modeling through events, timelines, legends, assumptions, and design alternatives; defers implementation mechanics.
- Examples
- Uses ticket purchasing and separate group event models merged into a scenario timeline.
- What you can do after
- Evaluate/understand scenario-driven software design decisions, assumptions, and competing bounded-context alternatives collaboratively.
