Domain Storytelling: A Collaborative, Visual, and Agile Way to Build Domain-Driven Software (Paperback)

Build Better Business Software by Telling and Visualizing Stories

From a story to working software--this book helps you to get to the essence of what to build. Highly recommended!
--Oliver Drotbohm
Storytelling is at the heart of human communication--why not use it to overcome costly misunderstandings when designing software? By telling and visualizing stories, domain experts and team members make business processes and domain knowledge tangible. Domain Storytelling enables everyone to understand the relevant people, activities, and work items. With this guide, the method's inventors explain how domain experts and teams can work together to capture insights with simple pictographs, show their work, solicit feedback, and get everyone on the same page.

Stefan Hofer and Henning Schwentner introduce the method's easy pictographic language, scenario-based modeling techniques, workshop format, and relationship to other modeling methods. Using step-by-step case studies, they guide you through solving many common problems, from creating new domain languages to deriving requirements, optimizing workflows to uncovering shadow IT.

• Fully align all project participants and stakeholders, both technical and business-focused
• Master a simple set of symbols and rules for modeling any process or workflow
• Use workshop-based collaborative modeling to find better solutions faster
• Draw clear boundaries to organize your domain, software, and teams
• Transform domain knowledge into requirements, embedded naturally into an agile process
• Move your models from diagrams and sticky notes to code
• Gain better visibility into your IT landscape so you can consolidate or optimize it

This guide is for everyone who wants more effective software--from developers, architects, and team leads to the domain experts, product owners, and executives who rely on it every day.

「透過故事講述和視覺化來打造更好的商業軟體」

從故事到實際軟體──這本書幫助您抓住建構的核心。強烈推薦！
──Oliver Drotbohm

故事講述是人類溝通的核心──為什麼不在設計軟體時利用它來克服昂貴的誤解呢？透過故事講述和視覺化，領域專家和團隊成員可以將業務流程和領域知識具體化。領域故事講述使每個人都能理解相關的人、活動和工作項目。本指南由該方法的創始人解釋了領域專家和團隊如何合作，以簡單的圖像語言捕捉洞察力，展示他們的工作，徵求反饋並使每個人保持一致。

Stefan Hofer和Henning Schwentner介紹了該方法的簡單圖像語言、基於情境的建模技術、工作坊格式以及與其他建模方法的關聯。通過逐步案例研究，他們指導您解決許多常見問題，從創建新的領域語言到推導需求，從優化工作流程到揭示陰影IT。

• 完全對齊所有項目參與者和利益相關者，無論是技術還是業務導向


• 掌握一套簡單的符號和規則，用於建模任何流程或工作流程


• 使用基於工作坊的協作建模，更快找到更好的解決方案


• 繪製清晰的邊界，組織您的領域、軟體和團隊


• 將領域知識轉化為需求，自然嵌入敏捷流程中


• 將模型從圖表和便利貼轉換為程式碼


• 更好地了解您的IT架構，以便進行整合或優化

本指南適用於希望獲得更有效軟體的所有人──從開發人員、架構師和團隊負責人到每天依賴軟體的領域專家、產品擁有者和高管。
