Some decisions affect the trajectory of the whole project.
These consequences of these decisions span the project, or even multiple projects. Well chosen strategies focus and leverage development. Poor strategies can straight-jacket teams, or become an irrelevant distraction.
The basis for making sound strategy is a clear view of the current state of the project combined with a clear understanding of the goals. Domain-driven design provides two primary tools for bringing this clarity. We work with your leaders to bring together this big picture. Just having this picture gives your project traction, as well as facilitating sound strategic decision making.
In any enterprise, or even medium sized project, different groups approach things differently. Managing this fact of life systematically prevents waste, improves integration, and avoids gridlock.
On any substantial project, there are so many contributing components, all complicated and all absolutely necessary to success, that the essence of the domain model, the real business asset, can be obscured and neglected.
We work with your team leaders to clarify priorities and a shared vision of the system, and hitch day-to-day development activities to taking that vision forward.
The clarity of a context map and distillation allows you to begin to make conscious, pragmatic decisions, and plot a course toward more effective organization of design work. We also advise on these decisions and then coach teams through the transition.

Simultaneously supporting strategic design and tactical design makes each effective.
Our mentors have the depth to identify issues of strategic importance that only reveal themselves in the details of implementation. In parallel, our coach works with the team as a whole and team leaders. The coach pinpoints key bottlenecks in the process and orchestrates strategic design changes. The mentors follow through, getting the fine grain of design and implementation right.
