Virtual Domain-driven design Virtual domain-driven design

As the relational complexity of software increases, we need, more than ever, smart architecture. Domain-aligned, team-decoupling, cohesiveness-driving, constantly evolving architecture has a massive positive impact. To design systems, we need to evolve the role of “architect” away from the dualistic most-experienced implementor vs ivory tower strategist. 
Architecture is a technology-agnostic skillset. You practice it regardless of which tools or programming language you work with. Architecture practice is a solitary, intra-group, and inter-group activity. We practice it within the human system, when we collaboratively design patterns and relationships, empower decision making and construct cross-functional feedback loops.
In this talk, we explore:
* “What is an architectural decision?” (The answers might surprise you). 
* How do we work effectively individually, intra-team, and inter-team to make them?
* What is the “advice process” and what has it taught us?

Does your team suffer from:
Inconsistent views of your systems? Producing incohesive solutions? Ineffective architecture practices and tools? Introducing Bytesize Architecture Sessions!
Bytesize Sessions are a workshop format that enables collaborative and iterative knowledge sharing.
This talk will enable you to run Bytesize Sessions resulting in the following benefits:
Improved systems thinking. Enriching collaboration within the team. Understanding architecture practices and tools in a safe environment. A feedback loop controlled by the team produces better documentation across sessions. Revealing the Bermuda Triangles! About Andrea Magnorsky
Andrea is a professional software developer with over 20 years of experience. These days she is a consultant / contractor focusing on strongly typed functional languages and software architecture . Andrea founded Kats Conf, Global GameCraft and many other communities. She also co-founded BatCat Games, a PC and Console game development company in Ireland.
 

oday most software products are highly networked and distributed solutions used by 1000s if not -10000s of people spread across the globe. To produce an experience that is intuitive and delivers a quality service worldwide, multi-culturally, and 24/7 across all time zones, you need a multi-disciplinary and diverse set of individuals i.e. a tailored team.

There is a quote made famous by Ruth Malan from Grady Booch: "Architecture represents the significant design decisions that shape a system." And shaping a system takes time, and seeing the impact of these significant design decisions can take years after the changes have been done. And most of us are usually not there to reak the benefit, or worse, feel its pain. So in collaboration with D-EDGE we will have a panel of people that did experience and will discuss how architecture decisions shaped the system years after the change.
 
 

Our models should be driven by the domain, but not constrained by what domain experts tell us. After all, the domain language is messy, organic, ambiguous, social, incomplete, and if it has any intentional design to it at all, it's not designed to be turned into software. Modelling is more than capturing requirements, it's the opportunity to create novel concepts. This talk will use real-world stories to invite you to discuss.

In the last week of this year, we are closing another full year of virtual Domain-driven design meetups with the last meetup. So grab your drinks (tea, lemonade or anything you want!) and come join with your DDD questions to this lean coffee! We all post topics we want to discuss and together we will get into dialogues, so bring us your knowledge and DDD questions and see you then! Miro https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVOY0dIIk=/
