Running and facilitating Eventstorming

Join our hands-on EventStorming workshop for a dive into collaborative modelling!
Work in small teams using simple tools to explore complex ideas. Discover how
EventStorming helps gain insights and develop shared understanding with
stakeholders. Leave with practical tips and a new perspective to facilitate these
sessions in your own team.

2. It is not the domain experts knowledge that goes to production, it is the assumption of the developers that goes to production @kenny_baas @kenny_baas@mastodon.social What goes to production — Alberto Brandolini, Creator of Eventstorming
3. Big Picture Process modelling Software Design Model and discover an entire business line: As-​ Is 15-70 people Common understanding between domain experts; massive learning Trigger long-​ awaited conversations Reach a consensus on what the core problem is Disagreements are okay Doing the right thing: As-​ Is 5-10 people Scope: epic / set of features Product owner absolutely required!

6. @kenny_baas @kenny_baas@mastodon.social Process Eventstorming case Your assignment involves developing the reservation process for a cinema company named BigScreen. Customers can book tickets through the company's website or its upcoming native app. The process encompasses several key steps: Customers initiate the process by specifying the number of tickets they wish to reserve. Following this, our system will automatically allocate seats for them. After the initial allocation, customers have the flexibility to adjust their seat selections to better suit their preferences. Once satisfied with their seat allocation, customers proceed to payment. It is only after the payment is processed that their tickets are officially confirmed. This streamlined process is designed to enhance user experience by providing flexibility and convenience in seat selection and reservation confirmation. 1. 2. 3.

9. I have been working in this for 10 years, I will just tell them how it is. How is my cat doing? Why is nobody LISTENING! I feel sooo stupid in this room Shouldn't we just do something completely Shouldn't we start coding now? They are always so annoying, why can't they just listen to me!!! We have been over this 4 times now... Those are not the right boundaries at all... I think we should dive deeper into the domain When that happens, we can get DDOS'd Consciousness of the group "The Shadows" Unconsciousness of the group Modeling space = pool of shared meaning How can I act in the best interest of the group and their outcomes? @kenny_baas @kenny_baas@mastodon.social @EvelynvanKelle What happens during colloration
10. a pattern is a set of ingrained, more or less fixed relationships between aspects or components of a culture, society, group, organization that can be observed, or can be deduced and interpreted from concrete events and processes. It concerns observable, repetitive aspects of reality. (3 times is a charm) patterns are repetitive patterns are visible on several layers patterns have a systematic coherence patterns form energy fields patterns are transferred @kenny_baas @kenny_baas@mastodon.social @EvelynvanKelle Behavioural patterns
11. @kenny_baas @kenny_baas@mastodon.social @EvelynvanKelle What patterns did you observe?
12. The person is disengaged That person is watching his phone for the 3th time The person does not care The person talks less than other people @kenny_baas @kenny_baas@mastodon.social @EvelynvanKelle Working with factual observations

15. Intervention to the group (never the individual) about the patterns you observed Neutral, factual observation use the words that the group uses Now stay quiet and let the group first try and decide what they need to do @kenny_baas @kenny_baas@mastodon.social @EvelynvanKelle Climate reports
16. In your group pick some patterns you observed During modelling, or previous modelling sessions Discuss and decide how you as a facilitator could have given a climate report to the group. @kenny_baas @kenny_baas@mastodon.social @EvelynvanKelle Break-​ out
17. Indirectness -> talking in the 3th person Indirectness -> Somebody.... Indirectness -> Guardian angel Absence Interrupt each other karaoke / radiostation sliding, not deciding Asking question that are no questions What do you want to say? What do you think? What do you mean? Who do you mean? Confusing communication What do you want? What are your needs? Weather report Asking questions or weather report Do you have an answer yourself? Do you already have ideas yourselve? Logical fallacies False Dichotomy Ad Hominem Are there any other options? What makes you say that? en.wikipedia.org List of fallacies - Wikipedia A fallacy is reasoning that is logically incorrect, undermines the logical validity of an argument, or is recognized as unsound. All forms of human communication can contain fallacies. Because of their variety, fallacies are challenging to classify. The… Strawman How did you reach that conclusion? @kenny_baas @kenny_baas@mastodon.social @EvelynvanKelle Not everything is a climate report
