Build Better Business Software by Telling and Visualizing Stories
“From a story to working software–this book helps you to get to the essence of what to build. Highly recommended!”
–Oliver Drotbohm Storytelling is at the heart of human communication–why not use it to overcome costly misunderstandings when designing software? By telling and visualizing stories, domain experts and team members make business processes and domain knowledge tangible. Domain Storytelling enables everyone to understand the relevant people, activities, and work items. With this guide, the method’s inventors explain how domain experts and teams can work together to capture insights with simple pictographs, show their work, solicit feedback, and get everyone on the same page.
Stefan Hofer and Henning Schwentner introduce the method’s easy pictographic language, scenario-based modeling techniques, workshop format, and relationship to other modeling methods. Using step-by-step case studies, they guide you through solving many common problems:
Fully align all project participants and stakeholders, both technical and business-focusedMaster a simple set of symbols and rules for modeling any process or workflowUse workshop-based collaborative modeling to find better solutions fasterDraw clear boundaries to organize your domain, software, and teamsTransform domain knowledge into requirements, embedded naturally into an agile processMove your models from diagrams and sticky notes to codeGain better visibility into your IT landscape so you can consolidate or optimize itThis guide is for everyone who wants more effective software–from developers, architects, and team leads to the domain experts, product owners, and executives who rely on it every day.

Update your architecture practice for new software challenges How teams can work together to capture insights with simple pictographs, show their work, solicit feedback, and get everyone on the same page Solve strategic problems between business decision-makers and technical team members Principles and processes to help you succeed across the entire API design lifecycle Proven patterns for designing high-value, evolvable APIs—for any domain, technology, or platform Leverage the serverless mindset to build and deploy software faster, better, and with less expense.
Hands-on advice for leveraging the continuous architecture and illuminates architectures changing role in the age of Agile, DevOps, and cloud platforms. Step-by-step case studies introduce the method’s easy pictographic language, scenario-based modeling techniques, workshop format, and relationship to other modeling methods. Realistic examples demonstrate how to construct well-designed monoliths that are maintainable and extensible, and how to gradually redesign and reimplement even the most tangled legacy systems into truly effective microservices. Learn how to align every stakeholder on specific outcomes, design APIs that deliver value, and scale the design process from small teams to the entire organization. This practical guide cuts through the complexity of API communication and message content, introducing rich and complete guidelines and heuristics for designing APIs sustainably and specifying them clearly. In this definitive guide, Joseph Emison shows how to leverage serverless for maximum customer value. He reveals why mindset is crucial to modern IT strategy and explains why and how to move toward a truly serverless mindset.
