Step 2: Exercises for teams

  • Review bounded contexts with teams
  • Examples of features that fall into one context and another that should be tricky
  • Map features from teams backlog to bounded contexts

Not only engeneering...

Step 3: Strategy to handle changes that spread across different contexts

Example: encounters/emergent workflow

  • User story mapping during the planning week (or even prior) to better align teams
  • Rotation/Team swap to break silos and build trust
  • The short leaved team consists of people with expertise in involved contexts for more intense collaboration
