*We know each team has their own needs and specifications. That is why we can modify the training outline per need.
Module 1: Strategic DDD and problem framing
- Ubiquitous language and core domain focus
- Bounded contexts and team aligned boundaries
- Context mapping partnership, customer supplier, conformist
- Visual collaboration techniques quick event storming and domain canvases
Module 2: From domain narratives to models
- Commands, policies, and events as storytelling tools
- Capability slices and domain workflows
- Discovering aggregates through invariants and transactional rules
- Aligning models with outcomes and KPIs
Module 3: Tactical building blocks
- Entities and value objects identity, equality, and immutability
- Aggregates consistency boundaries and reference patterns
- Domain services when behavior is not owned by an entity
- Repositories intent revealing persistence and specs
Module 4: Architecture alignment
- Hexagonal architecture ports, adapters, and application services
- Application layer vs domain layer responsibilities
- CQRS where it helps and where it does not
- Event sourcing at a glance tradeoffs and readiness checks
Module 5: Integrating bounded contexts
- Translation layers and anti corruption layer patterns
- Published language and contracts for interoperability
- Versioning strategies for APIs and messages
- Context mapping to infrastructure choices
Module 6: Process orchestration
- Sagas and process managers modeling long running flows
- Consistency models eventual, transactional outbox, and idempotency
- Handling duplicates, retries, and timeouts
- Designing for failure and compensations
Module 7: Working with legacy systems
- Domain discovery in a brownfield codebase
- Modular monolith as a stepping stone
- Strangler fig and routing techniques
- Carving out first bounded contexts with minimal risk
Module 8: Data and reporting
- Read models and projections for queries and analytics
- Reporting across contexts without leaking invariants
- Reference data and catalog domains
- Data ownership and synchronization rules
Module 9: Testing the domain model
- Example based specifications and scenario tests
- Property based tests for invariants
- Contract tests between contexts
- Test data strategies for realistic scenarios
Module 10: Operational concerns
- Observability by domain logs, metrics, and traces
- Resilience patterns bulkheads, circuit breakers, and backpressure
- Security boundaries and policies by context
- Performance considerations in aggregate design
Module 11: Governance and team practices
- Architecture decision records and model catalogs
- Review rituals model walkthroughs and context map updates
- Evolution rules deprecation, versioning, and migration guides
- Aligning product roadmaps to domain change
Module 12: Roadmap to adoption
- Assessing readiness and constraints
- Selecting pilot slices and success criteria
- Change management for developers and stakeholders
- Building a shared language glossary and living documentation
