I often suggest using capability modelling especially when you are at a big enterprise and want to learn more about the coverage of how much the business goals are supported. Not to mention how useful capabilities are when it comes to eg. Wardley-mapping where you are not just looking at the situational awareness but also taking it to the next level and talking about evolution. I think we can all agree that this can be useful. But have you ever actually done it? .... Learn more

At this year's  Craft conference I've co-facilitated a hands-on session with Nick Tune about Domain-Driven Design and Team Topologies. 

Check out my latest blogpost about roadmaps and their inaccuracy...Don't worry it is the way it needs to be. :) 

This summit was online after all, but this didn't prevent us from having a great time, learning a lot and having valuable conversations with each other. I've run a hands-on session there (March 16 10:00-13:00 CET ), where we were focusing on delivering value to customers.

Recently I've spent two intense modeling days with the Domain-Driven Design community in Berlin finally in person again! It was great to participate in this Open Space!

Many great sessions. You can check out the twitter feed of the conference. 

This year I had the opportunity to be one of the speakers and I've talked about transforming business models during these pandemic times. Contact me if you are interested in the recording of the session. 

At VirtualDDD I talked about business model innovation and what happens if companies NEED to transform their business - for instance in a situation like this pandemic.

Visual Collaboration Tools  is a book for software engineering teams. It describes tools that help us in our daily job, and also present field stories from different practitioners. The book is from the community to the community, and it is free. The donations that we collect goes to scholarship projects for diversity in tech. 

In this book you can learn about facilitation, preparing meetings, tips and tricks for remote working but mainly about visual collaboration tools. 

Just before all the holidays start we are closing this year 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 Ask us anything party (which is going to be an online fishbowl format)! 

We are just over the first virtualDDD online community conference. Looking at the numbers it's been even better than our expectations. And I have good news: we have all the sessions recorded. Yes, even the hands-on sessions :) Check out here. 

This was the first conference organized by VirtualDDD but definitely not the last. Stay tuned :)  

I've facilitated a workshop at the Summit where we were business modeling, then modeled with business capabilities and also spent some time on Wardley-mapping.

• Check out the recording of my foundation talk (to follow) to learn about how a product person can help and use DDD techniques in their daily work.

• Check out other DDD EU 2020 happenings.

I travelled to Vienna and facilitated a workshop there for DDD Videnna Meetup group about business models and innovation.

"Bad" news is that it is in Hungarian, so only Hungarian speaker DDD enthusiasts can understand.

Semantics is all about meaning. If there is one thing we struggle with and need to get better at, it is the search for and clarification of meaning. It takes effort and insight. We've talked about what we mean with Kevlin.

You can watch the recording here.

In our next virtualDDD online meetup we'll discuss various techniques and ideas for introducing DDD to an organisation, with a focus on the needs of the company and individuals, and how to approach those needs.  And all you need to do is click on join button! :)

I've run a hands-on session at Explore DDD conference in Denver recently about modeling with business capabilities. 

(unfortunately no recording has been made about the hands-on sessions)

If you cannot come to Denver to Explore DDD conference, this is a good opportunity to participate on the same hands-on session that I'm gonna run there. 

Check out photos of meetup here

You can find the recording of the session on https://virtualddd.com/

I was in a podcast this June where I talked about DDD from the business perspective. "Bad" news is that it is in Hungarian, so only Hungarian speaker DDD enthusiasts can understand.
