Explore DDD 2018 – Denver, Sept. 11-14

Don Reinertsen says, “The enemy of flow is the invisible and unmeasured queues that undermine all aspects of product development performance.” But how can we fight an invisible enemy? Most development teams remain blissfully unaware of the negative impact of these invisible queues on their productivity, or how to deal with them effectively.

This talk focuses on modeling the presence and the negative impact of these invisible queues in the work of real teams. In this session, you’ll see how to use EventStorming to model the current state of team flow, and a live demo of visualizing and troubleshooting team development queues as timelines with Flow. Paul talks about the power of metaphor and domain modeling to transform how teams visualize and improve their productivity.
