[ENG] How Domain Storytelling reveals the secrets of your domain

Presented at KanDDDinsky 2018 (https://kandddinsky.de/)

Domain Storytelling means that we bring together domain experts and developers. We let them tell us stories about their domain. While listening, we record the stories using a pictographic language. The experts can see immediately if we understand their story. After very few stories, we are able to talk about the people, tasks, tools, work items, and events in that domain.
Henning and Stefan will demonstrate Domain Storytelling by re-enacting how they modeled ship maneuver planning in the port of Hamburg. You will see that Domain Stories show how people work together within and across contexts – and how unsuitable boundaries prevent people from working together. After all, bounded contexts should separate models, not people.
