Author a Ubiquitous-Language Glossary for a Telco Billing Domain
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Conduct 12 structured interviews (30 min each) with stakeholders across CRM, billing, AR, customer portal, and finance. Capture each team's terminology for the top 25 domain concepts (invoice, charge, credit, dispute, bill cycle, etc.). Identify collisions (likely 6-10) and propose either context-scoped definitions or context-bridge translations. Produce a glossary document showing the term, the contexts it lives in, and the translation rules between them. Propose a 90-day remediation roadmap with quick wins and structural fixes. Deliver glossary, annotated context map, and roadmap.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Reconcile conflicting ubiquitous-language definitions across 5 teams in a telco billing domain and propose a 90-day remediation roadmap that avoids a forced rewrite.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Conduct domain interviews that surface language collisions, not just opinions
- Author a per-context glossary that handles real terminology conflicts
- Distinguish quick-win renames from structural domain redesign
- Communicate a domain-language remediation to non-engineering stakeholders
