Title:
Making SaFe redundant with Domain Driven Design
Short synopsis:
To be able to become high performant, organisations have finally started to jump on the agile bandwagon, and they jump on it with a big bang agile transformation. In order to become high performant, organisation want to create more autonomous agile teams at scale. To go agile at scale, they go and look for an agile scaling framework fit for their organisation, and most find that in SaFe. SaFe will give companies a good visual overview of their dependencies, but in my experience, it won’t give you more autonomous teams, it is good for scaffolding. The problems lies not only in the organisation but also in the way software is designed. Without a good software design, teams cannot become more autonomous. Domain Driven Design is a holistic approach to software delivery. One of the pillars is creating a bounded context in which a multidiscipline team takes ownership of creating a model in order to increase autonomy. Only one team is responsible for that bounded context so that they can keep the language in that bounded context consistent. In that bounded context, systems can be implemented with that same model. By using Domain Driven Design, we lower the dependencies between teams, setting boundaries between purposes so that teams can fully take ownership. This way we create a much more decoupled organisation, who can become high performant. Join us in this talk where we will show you how we used Domain Driven Design to lower the need for using a scaled framework like SaFe. We used EventStorming to visualise the dependencies and model processes in order to find bounded contexts and give agile teams the knowledge to become more autonomous.
