Overview
What this challenge is about.
Facilitate Event Storming sessions, map bounded contexts for an insurance carrier, and deliver a strategic design document. Earn a verifiable certificate.
The scenario
The carrier (around EUR 1.2B gross written premium, regulated by BaFin) has tried two failed modernization attempts in the last decade — the CTO is betting that strategic DDD work upfront will keep this one from collapsing.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Produce a defensible bounded-context map and ubiquitous-language glossaries for a complex insurance domain before any modernization code is written.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Facilitate Big Picture Event Storming with non-technical domain experts
- Translate domain events into bounded-context boundaries with explicit relationships
- Author a ubiquitous-language glossary per context with collision rules
- Apply Conway's Law to team-allocation recommendations
