Complex business processes, lots of stakeholders, tricky business rules, in a domain you've never worked in? EventStorming is our #1 tool for collaboratively exploring complexity before you start to code: buff.ly/zTonPtw ⏳ Early bird ending on July 31!

Everyone is trying to figure out how to work with AI, but we also need to understand the risks. The risk isn't that AI produces "bad models", it's that we accept plausible-looking ones without having the correct mental models to validate them. [1/2]

Chelsea Troy is running a workshop for engineers who want to understand AI coding assistants. We’ll dig into how these tools actually work, how to evaluate their output, and how to integrate them safely into complex projects. If you’re skeptical but curious, this one’s for you: buff.ly/J6i1nzP

“How do we design our software system so that our teams can be autonomous?” is a very common question I receive during training or consulting. In this episode of Satisfying Software, I dig a bit deeper into team organisation with @joaorosa.bsky.social. [1/2]

This year is the 10th edition of @dddeu.bsky.social, and I wanted to share my personal journey during the next couple of weeks. This conference and the people organising it (spoiler alert, my colleagues) have been an important in my professional career for the past 10 years. [1/n]

When I started working, I noticed that companies were not great at having meetings and making decisions. So I started digging into decision-making theory. In this episode, I sat down with @roundcrisis.com to unpack why decision-making processes often fail the people they are meant to help. [1/2]

In this episode of Satisfying Software, I had the pleasure to talk to @hanneslowette.net on everything “learning and development”. Hannes has a lot of experience in creating a knowledge sharing culture within a company as Head of L&D at Axxes. [1/2]

In the second episode of this season of Satisfying Software, I talk with @kenny.weave-it.org on domains, subdomains, bounded contexts. What are they, what is the difference between them en when do we need which one? (We also talk about naming things) [1/2]

Satisfying software is back with a second season! What do your users need? In the first episode of this season, I am talking to @suksr.bsky.social on software architecture, Wardley Mapping, understanding user needs and how they help to deliver real business value.

We don't run public workshops often—most of our training is in-house with companies. If you've been wanting to start with collaborative modelling but unsure how, this is your chance to learn by doing it. Details: buff.ly/UHbDWhk

Strategic Domain Driven Design is a domain-focused, collaborative learning process. Come and collaborate with us to find out more about Strategic DDD: buff.ly/u2ViIdE. Andrea will teach in her office hours from New Zealand! Take advantage of our Early Bird!

«It’s not just about design, it’s about people, systems, and the way we work together.» This is what Claudia Cuadros recently wrote about the Collaborative Software Design book, written by Evelyn van Kelle, Kenny (Baas) Schwegler, Gien Verschatse. 📖 Have you already read it?

Together with my co-authors @evelynvankelle.bsky.social and @gienverschatse.com, we get questions about our book, which we turn into small advice columns written by our book's alter ego, Dear CoMo.

Next year, we’re going to Amsterdam!! 🇳🇱 The Collaborative Software Design Workshop with @kenny.weave-it.org and @gienverschatse.com will take place on June 16 - 17 in Amsterdam and registrations are now open! 🎆 www.avanscoperta.it/en/training/...

Trans vrouwen zijn geen bedreiging. De echte dreiging is het feit dat mensen nog steeds zeggen dat geslacht volgens biologie binair is (spoiler biologie werkt niet met definities) om anderen te mogen uitsluiten in naam van de wetenschap ga u een eind schamen dames… (6/6)

Design heuristics help you design a loosely coupled architecture. Find out how to use heuristics as a guiding tool for designing your bounded contexts in this beginners-friendly training 👉 buff.ly/EHe7jyV Take advantage of our Early Bird!

We will go more in-depth on how to facilitate collaborative software design, ensuring you can structure sessions that capture the necessary expertise regardless of rank or communication style. buff.ly/K5xhJTK

Collaborative Software Design Workshop

Based on the book Collaborative Software Design, we provide you with the facilitation skills needed to guide a group and lead impactful modeling sessions.

It has been quite an odyssey, but now it is finally here: 📣 📚 Domain-Driven Transformation: Modernize Legacy Systems and Mitigate Risk 📚 📣 In this book, Carola Lilienthal and I present our approach to transform architecturally eroded systems. domain-driven-transformation.com

At @newcrafts.bsky.social watching @andrewhl.bsky.social talk about anarchy and how we can organise ourselves differently in our company instead of the hierarchy we have gotten so used to.

Only 20 days left until @newcrafts.bsky.social. I will be talking about all things decision. :-D At the end of my talk you will understand a decision better, have some extra vocabulary to use and you know how I applied decision-making to software design. I hope to see you there! ncrafts.io

Have you had enough of all the endless chit-chat about AI? Yeah. I hear you. So I ain’t sayin’ nuffink other than, I’m running a two-day workshop in Amsterdam on November 17th and 18th, getting the most out of LLM-augmented coding tools and having FUN with it. Let’s not talk about it. Let’s DO It.
