# Design Bounded Contexts around EventStorming Policies

## Short description

From a process or design level EventStorming, design your bounded contexts around the purple sticky called a policy.

## Examples

- When a domain experts mentions: When this event happens we will
start the reservation process. We can add a policy that can be names:
Reservation process policy

- Sometimes a policy is a long running process for instance a timer to cancel a reservation when the ustomer has not payed. You can design
these within your bounded context instead of spanning between.

## Context

During process and design level EventStorming we want to design our bounded context. Since we usually take a customer journey or a product it can span multiple bounded contexts.
