A Bounded Context is a central pattern in Domain-Driven Design. It is used to break down large models into more manageable units. But what about when a system is resistant to modelling due to constant, dynamic change? Systems thinking encourages us to change our point of view in order to assess complexity. One way to recover a human-scale perspective is to use a metaphor. The right metaphor, applied with integrity and care, can function as a “bounded perspective”.
To investigate this idea further, we would like to look at the metaphor of a lens as it applies to transformation. What are the metaphorical properties of a lens? How should we apply them? This lightning talk will use a quick-fire design dialogue to paint a picture of using a metaphor to investigate systems boundaries.
