Map Bounded Contexts for a Mid-Cap Insurance Carrier. Advanced challenge in design. Designing real products under real constraints, earn a blockchain-verifie...
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.
This is not a design exercise. It is the work a product designer does between a brief and a shipped interface. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates redesign Spotify's homepage and none who have worked under real product constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
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
