A different take on (context) mapping

Let's explore how we can improve mapping in DDD. Can we make space more meaningful in a typical Context Map? How can we visualize our intended changes? Is there a way to markup maps with forces on our model outside of code? And what details impact can we expect from things not part of our map?

Mapping is a perfect tool for facilitating communication and decision making. In this session Marijn will show examples from real life to inspire you to experiment with different mapping techniques yourself.

1. @huizendveld #DDDEU A different take on (context) mapping
3. @huizendveld #DDDEU Imagine you are going somewhere. 
 
 What are the first apps you open on your smartphone?
4. Situational awareness
5. Communicate about assumptions
6. Contextualize the design
9. Heuristic: Use the medium
12. Accessibility of the map leaves a lot to be desired
13. Bounded what?
14. Can we anticipate based on our context map?
15. Do we have sufficient context covered for our decision?
16. Does this map tell us anything about the ecosystem we operate in?
18. Have you tried Event Storming?
21. How do we document this?
22. @huizendveld #DDDEU The artifact contraction: Mapping > Maps A picture doesn’t tell the full story
24. The model of a map according to Wardley Event Storming Context Mapping Visual ✅ ✅ Context ✅ ✅ Position ✅ ✅ Anchor " ♦ Movement " " Components ✅ ✅

63. Experiment with Wardley Maps as a way to do context mapping
64. Use Wardleys model of a map to turn graphs into maps
