Explore DDD 2019 – Denver, Sept. 16-20

Having a usability background, Anita sees a lot of similarities between UX methods focusing on the user's mental model and Domain-Driven Design.

In this talk, Anita shared her experiences from a 3-year project where they successfully used DDD to break up a big giant monolith application into a modularized solution. She used real examples to illustrate both the easy and the hard part of modeling their domain model.

Anita also shared her reflections on whether their modeling challenges can partly be explained by focusing on the user's mental model, and how this can shed light on why defining the domain model sometimes is a struggle.
